Gm F
April is a cruel time
Eb7
Even though the sun may shine
D7+/9
And world will turn to shake
Gm
As it slowly comes away
F
Still falls the April rain
Eb7+/9
And the valley's filled with pain
D7+/9
And you can't tell if I cry
Gm F
As i look up to the grey sky
(F)
Where it should be blue
Eb9 D7+/9
Grey sky where I should see you
Gm F
Ask why, why it should be so
Eb7+/9 D7+/9
I'll cry, say that I don't know
Eb Bb
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+/9
Of an April lonely as they come
Eb Bb
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+/9
And the springtime's the season of the night
