_ [Bb] _ _ _ This [C] is _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ about the _ near [B]-miss with _ the _ [D] rapture that we had about five years ago, [N] May 21st,
2011.
_ _ _ _ I was [B] driving around the day before on May _ [Bb] _ 20th and saw [B] a big billboard _ [Eb] and _ [Bb] decided to
go home and write a song _ because I thought [Ebm] it might be [Bb] my last day, my last possibility
to write a song.
[Eb] _ _ _ _
So [Ab] as I did so, I thought about the guy who put up [N] all these signs saying that May 21st
was [Bb] Judgment Day and I thought, what [B] kind of song might he write if he was [Eb] a bluegrass guitar player? _ _ _ _

_ [Eb] We'll meet at the same end.
I'm here [Bb]
in the [Ab] sky.
_ Hallelujah, [Gm] _
the _ [Bb] _ 21st [Eb] of _ May.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ Sitting in these words of mine, _ _ _ about the coming _ _ [Bb] Judgment Day.

21st [Eb] of May.
_ _ _ They [Cm] _ left for [C] nowhere, _ building boats, [Cm] then cried when came [Bb] the rain. _ _ _
