Verse 1:
(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:
And the rain falls down
D--
let it fall to the ground
And the birds don t sing
D--
no they don t make a sound
So I look to the sky
tell me why tell me why
Do they all get to live
and I have to die?
Verse 2:
(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:
And the angels sing
let it shine let it shine
Dry the teardrops
from my eyes
And the bells will ring when
the blind lead the blind
Cause the dead can t testify
And because I can t
take an eye for an eye
In the afterlife I ll
Gm D--
haunt you till you die!
Guitar Solo: D-- x8
Refrain 2:
And the rain falls down
let it fall to the ground
with teardrops on the ground!!!
And the birds don t sing
no they don t make a sound
with your 6 feet underground!!!
So I look to the sky
tell me why tell me why
Do they all get to live
and I have to die?
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Outro: D-- x8
lie!!!
