Gm F April is a cruel time D#7 Even though the sun may shine D7 And world will turn to shake Gm As it slowly comes away F Still falls the April rain D#7 And the valley's filled with pain D7 And you can't tell if I cry Gm F As i look up to the grey sky Where it should be blue Chorus: D#9 D7 Grey sky where I should see you Gm F Ask why, why it should be so D#7 D7 I'll cry, say that I don't know D# A# Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile Cm But then the feeling comes again of an April without end D7 Of an April lonely as they come D# A# In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine Cm But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun D7 And the springtime's the season of the night Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  D7  D#7  D#9  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
