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 MajorEb
And the rain falls down
             D--
let it fall to the ground
    Eb MajorEb
And the birds don't sing
             D--
no they don't make a sound
   Eb MajorEb
So I look to the sky
    F#F#
tell me why tell me why
  Bb majorBb
Do they all get to live
   D MajorD
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 majorBb
And the angels sing
    FF
let it shine let it shine
    C minorCm
Dry the teardrops
    G minorGm
from my eyes
    Bb majorBb
And the bells will ring when
  FF
the blind lead the blind
     G minorGm
Cause the dead can't testify
   Bb majorBb
And because I can't
    FF
take an eye for an eye
    Eb MajorEb
In the afterlife I'll
G minorGm         D--
haunt you till you die!


Guitar Solo: D-- x8


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


(Repeat Chorus twice)
