Verse 1:
        D(all the way)
Let the rain fall down
let it fall to the ground
Let the rain fall down 
to the ground
And the birds don't sing
no they don't make a sound
When you're six feet underground
Well they cast me out 
when the word spread around
That I never sang in the church
And it took one night 
for the town to decide
I'm afflicted by the curse


Refrain 1:
        Eb
And the rain falls down
                         D--
let it fall to the ground
        Eb
And the birds don't sing
                          D--
no they don't make a sound
     Eb
So I look to the sky 
        F#
tell me why tell me why
   Gm       F/A    Bb
Do they all get to live
      Cm      D
and I have to die?

Verse 2:
        D(all the way)
So they marched me down 
to the center of town
With their pitchforks 
high in the air
I was chained and bound 
with a blindfold around
So the judge wouldn't 
catch my stare
And they hung my soul 
from the gallows pole
But the witch 
they never found
So to those who don't
 fit society's mold
Learn to swim or 
you will drown


(Repeat Refrain)


Chorus:
        Bb
And the angels sing
       F
let it shine let it shine
        Cm
Dry the teardrops 
        Gm
from my eyes
        Bb
And the bells will ring when 
    F
the blind lead the blind
          Cm              Gm
Cause the dead can't testify
      Bb
And because I can't 
        F
take an eye for an eye
       Eb
In the afterlife I'll 
Gm                 D--
haunt you till you die!


Guitar Solo: D-- x8


Refrain 2:
        Eb
And the rain falls down
let it fall to the ground
     D
with teardrops on the ground!!!
        Eb
And the birds don't sing
no they don't make a sound
          D
with your 6 feet underground!!!
     Eb
So I look to the sky 
        F#
tell me why tell me why
   Gm       F/A    Bb
Do they all get to live
      Cm      D
and I have to die?


(Repeat Chorus twice)


Outro: D-- x8
lie!!!
