Verse 1

Let the rain fall down

let it fall to the ground

Let the rain fall down

to the ground

And the birds don't sing

no they don't make a sound

When you're six feet underground

Well they cast me out

when the word spread around

That I never sang in the church

And it took one night

for the town to decide

I'm afflicted by the curse

Refrain 1

And the rain falls down

D--

let it fall to the ground

And the birds don't sing

D--

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?

Verse 2

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

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus

And the angels sing

let it shine let it shine

Dry the teardrops

from my eyes

And the bells will ring when

the blind lead the blind

Cause the dead can't testify

And because I can't

take an eye for an eye

In the afterlife I'll

Gm D--

haunt you till you die!

Guitar solo

Refrain 2

And the rain falls down

let it fall to the ground

with teardrops on the ground!!!

And the birds don't sing

no they don't make a sound

with your 6 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?

(Repeat Chorus twice)
