[Verse 1]
        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
[Refrain]
        Eb                                        D

        Eb                                          D
And the birds don't sing no they don't make a sound

     Eb
So I look to the sky 

        F#
tell me why tell me why

   Gm       F/A    Bb
Do they all get to live

      Cm      D
and I have to die?
[Verse 2]
        Gm
So they marched me down to the center of town

           D
With their pitchforks high in the air

D7
I was chained and bound with a blindfold around

Gm
So the judge wouldn't catch my stare

Gm
And they hung my soul from the gallows pole

        D
But the witch they never found

       D7
So to those who don't fit society's mold

          Gm
Learn to swim or you will drown
[Refrain]
        Eb                                        D

So I look to the sky 

        F#
tell me why tell me why

   Gm       F/A    Bb
Do they all get to live

and I have to die?
[Chorus]
        Bb
And the angels sing

       F
let it shine let it shine

        Cm
Dry the teardrops 

        Gm
from my eyes

        Bb
And the bells will ring when 

    F
the blind lead the blind

          Cm              Gm
Cause the dead can't testify

      Bb
And because I can't 

        F
take an eye for an eye

       Eb
In the afterlife I'll 

Gm                 D
haunt you till you die!
[Solo] Gm D D7 Gm x8 [Refrain]
        Eb
And the rain falls down let it fall to the ground

with teardrops on the ground!!!

        Eb
