Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[B][B][Em]
[Em][B][B][Em]

[Intro 2]
[Em][Em]
[Em][B][B][Em]
[Em][B][B][Em]

[Verse 1]
Let the [Em]rain fall down, let it fall to the ground
Let the [B]rain fall down to the gound
And the birds don't sing,
no they don't make a sound
When you're [Em]six feet underground
Well they cast me out
when the word spread around
That I [B]never sang in the church
And it took one night for the town to decide
I'm af[Em]flicted by the curse

[Chorus 1]
And the [C]rain falls down,
let it fall to the [Em]ground
And the [C]birds don't sing,
no they don't make a [Em]sound
So I [C]look to the sky, tell me [B]why, tell me why
Do [Em]they all [B]get to [Em]live, and I [B]have to die?

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

[Chorus 2]
And the [C]rain falls down,
let it fall to the [Em]ground
And the [C]birds don't sing,
no they don't make a [Em]sound
So I [C]look to the sky, tell me [B]why, tell me why
Do [Em]they all [B]get to [Em]live, and I [B]have to die?

[Bridge 1]
And the an[G]gels sing "let it [D]shine, let it shine"
Dry the [Am]teardrops from my [Em]eyes
And the [G]bells will ring
when the [D]blind lead the blind
'Cause the [Am]dead can't testi[Em]fy
And be[G]cause I can't take an [D]eye for an eye
In the [C]afterlife I'll [Em]haunt you 'till you [B]die

[Solo 1]
[Em][B][B][Em]
[Em][B][B][Em]

[Chorus 3]
And the [C]rain falls down,
let it fall to the ground
(Let [Em]teardrops hit the ground)
And the [C]birds don't sing,
no they don't make a sound
(When you're [Em]six feet underground)
So I [C]look to the sky, tell me [B]why, tell me why
Do [Em]they all [B]get to [Em]live, and I [B]have to die?

[Bridge 2]
And the an[G]gels sing "let it [D]shine, let it shine"
Dry the [Am]teardrops from my [Em]eyes
And the [G]bells will ring
when the [D]blind lead the blind
'Cause the [Am]dead can't testi[Em]fy
And be[G]cause I can't take an [D]eye for an eye
In the [C]afterlife I'll [Em]haunt you 'till you [B]die
And the an[G]gels sing "let it [D]shine, let it shine"
Dry the [Am]teardrops from my [Em]eyes
And the [G]bells will ring
when the [D]blind lead the blind
'Cause the [Am]dead can't testi[Em]fy
And be[G]cause I can't take an [D]eye for an eye
In the [C]afterlife I'll [Em]haunt you 'till you [B]die
