VERSE I A Shed no tears for me F#m E There'll be rain enough today A D E I'm wishing you Godspeed as I wave you on your way A D A D This won't be the first time I've stayed behind to face E D A D The bitter consequences of an ancient fall from grace A D I'm a daughter of the race of Cain A D A I am not stranger to the rain
VERSE II A Orphan in the storm F#m E That's a role I've played before A And I've learned not to tremble C#m E When I hear the thunder roar D A I don't curse what I can't change D I just play the hand I'm dealt F#m A And when they lighten up my rations D I tighten up my belt A D I won't say I've never felt the pain A D A F#m But I am not a stranger to the rain BRIDGE F#m D A E And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I've known F#m D A E I wish for him another love so he won't be alone Bm A F#m E But I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain Bm F#m A E And when the storm comes crashing on the plain Bm F#m D E I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane CHORUS A D Oh, shed no tears for me A D Light no candle for my sake A D This journey I'll be taking now A E Is one we all must make A Shoulder to the wind D E I'll turn my face into the spray D A And when the heavens open D E Let the drops fall where they may A D A If they finally wash away the stain A D E From a daughter of the race of Cain A D A F#m D I am not a stranger to the rain A F#m D A Let it rain! http://www.musicalschwartz.com/children-of-eden.htm For additional help listen to it; it's from Children of Eden the musical
