Maymorning

a great runrig song from the ’in search of angels’ album .

this song is quite a tricky one to match chords to so you need to listen to the song to
get the timing right , especially for the descending bass notes played through the verse .

capo – 2nd fret

lyrics
the sun is melting over the hills
all our roads are waiting
to be revealed
for this in history has brought us to here
now it’s all there for the taking
the day is what you see

the light’s returning , the work is in hand
all the cynics have vanished
from where we stand
all the chances wasted are drawing me near
and all around there’s new life rising
from the winter fields

i’m alive again
i’m alive again
