A Kirin Tale Written by Daniel Ingram Performed in the episode by Rachel Bloom (as "Autumn Blaze") and The Nashville Scoring Orchestra [Intro]
F                Bb
La, la-la-la, la-la

      F         Eb
La-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 1]
    F                        Bb
The Kirin used to speak and sing

                 F      Eb
We weren't always quiet

        F                 Bb
We told stories and funny jokes

                  F     Eb
My stand-up was a riot

    Bb              F/C
But then one day, a fight broke out

    C                  F
And hurtful words were said

Bb               F/C
Flaring tempers were inflamed

G                   C
Destruction quickly spread

Bb                           C
And flaming red from head to head

                F
Even burnt our... bread

          Bb  F  Eb
Sorry, I forgot how much I love rhyming. Where was I? Oh, right!
[Verse 2]
   F              Bb
My happy village lay in ruins

  F               Eb
Relationships got worse

F                 Bb
Spoiler alert: we quickly learned

     F                 Eb
That words could be a curse

Bb                  F/C
"No more talking," yelled our leader

C                    F
The last thing said aloud

Ddim
Into the Stream of Silence

   F
We stepped as a crowd

    Bb
The water cooled emotions

    G7
And peace was soon restored

         Bb                 C
But with no way to speak my thoughts

             F
I got super... bored

           Bb  F  Eb
Seriously, there's only so long that Sudoku can keep you entertained!
[Chorus]
       G                              Bb
'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky
Unless you let it rain
    Dm                               C
And shiny apples sometimes come with worms

        G
No, you can't give up your laughter

              Bb
'Cause you're scared of a little pain

       Eb              C           F
It's a lesson that the Kirin never learned
[Instrumental] Bb F Eb [Verse 3]
F               Bb
I was stuck in silent prison

         F            Eb
With the voices in my head

     F               Bb
'Til I tripped over my salvation

     G7            C
In a helpful flowerbed

  Bb               F/C
I found a cure to clear my pipes

    C              F
And I became quite chatty

     Bb                  F/C
With years and years of stored-up words

  G7               C
I drove my village batty

     Dm
They didn't like my jokes and songs

    A
And daily dose of news

    F
The plays I wrote, the speeches spoke

   G7
Variety reviews

       Dm                               A
Or the story about the Kirin who hid below an opera stage

    C
And fell
N.C. in love with this opera singer, and he wore a freaky half-mask thing, and he played the organ a lot and got all broody 'cause the singer was in love with another dude, so he took her away on this underground gondola.
C7
I mean, who doesn't love musical theater?!
[Verse 4]
    F               Bb
The village leader made it clear

  F              Eb
I had to make my choice

F                Bb
I could stay and live with them

   F               Eb
Or I could keep my voice

   Bb               F/C             C
So I came here, but left the couch alone

                F
They're hard to move

     Bb                F/C
With just the view for company

      Ddim         G7
Until ya heard me groove
N.C. Take it away, boys! [Interlude] G7 [Chorus]
       G                             Bb
'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky
Unless you let it rain
    Dm                                    C
And candles just won't glow until they're burned

        G
No, you can't give up your laughter

              Bb
'Cause you're scared of a little pain

       Eb             C             Dm  C  F
It's a lesson that my village never learned

   Gm
No matter how hard I schooled them

         Bb
Fear of hurt is still what ruled them

    C                       F  Eb  Dm
Sometimes you gotta let it raaaaaaaain!
[Outro]
          C                      F
Yeah, sometimes you gotta let it rain
