Gm Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground D Let the rain fall down to the ground D7 And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound Gm When you're six feet underground Gm Well they cast me out when the word spread around D That I never sang in the church D7 And it took one night for the town to decide Gm I'm afflicted by the curse D# D And the rain falls down let it fall to the ground D# D And the birds don't sing no they don't make a sound D# So I look to the sky F# tell me why tell me why Gm F/A A# Do they all get to live Cm D and I have to die? 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 And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground And the birds don’t sing, 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? Chorus: A# And the angels sing F let it shine let it shine Cm Dry the teardrops Gm from my eyes A# And the bells will ring when F the blind lead the blind Cm Gm Cause the dead can't testify A# And because I can't F take an eye for an eye D# In the afterlife I'll Gm D haunt you till you die! And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground (Let teardrops hit the ground!) And the birds don’t sing, no, they don’t make a sound (When you’re six 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?
