Am                 
   On the first day of May I took to the road 
 G 
   I'd been staring out the window most of the morning 
 Am 
   I'd watched the rain claw at the glass 
          G 
   And a vicious wind blew hard and fast 
                                Am 
   I should have taken it as a warning 
         G        Am 
   As A warning A-A-as A warning 
         G 
   As a warning 
 
 same as above: 
 
 I'd given my nurse the weekend off 
 My meals were ill prepared 
 My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb 
 And my piano crouched in the corner of my room 
 With all its teeth bared 
 All its teeth bared All its teeth bared 
 All its teeth bared. 
 
       Am         G   
 Hallelujah Hallelujah 
       Am         G 
 Hallelujah Hallelujah
