[Verse 1]
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9
Tracy died soon after a long fought ...civil war,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
Just after I wiped away his last tear,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9 Asus2#11
I guess he's better off than he--- was before,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here!
[Verse 2]
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11 Aadd9
I used to cry for Tracy, 'cause he was my only friend,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9
Those kind of cars don't pass you ...every day,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Aadd9
I used to cry for Tracy, 'cause I want to see him again,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
But sometimes, sometimes life ...ain't always the way!
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad, ...so bad,
Aadd9 Bbsus2 Bsus2
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
F#7/11 Aadd9 E E6 E9
And all good things, they say, never last!
[Verse 3]
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9
Springtime was al - ways my favourite time of year,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
Now springtime only re - minds me of ...Tracy's tears,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
Always cry for love, ...never cry for pain!
[Bridge]
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
He----- used to say so strong, un------afraid ...to die,
Amaj9 E
Unafraid of the death that left me hypno - tised,
F#7/11 Amaj9 Asus2#11
No, staring at his picture I've real - ised...
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11 Aadd9
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Eadd9 F#7/11 Aadd9
No one could cry ...the way my Tracy cried!
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad------------,
Aadd9 Bbsus2 Bsus2
Some - times, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
F#7/11 Aadd9 E E6 E9
But all good things, they say, never last!
[Verse 4]
Eadd9 F#7/11 Amaj9
I often dream of heaven, and I know that Tracy's there,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
I know that he has found ...another friend,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
Maybe he's found the answer to all ...the April snow,
Eadd9 F#7/11 Asus2#11
Maybe one day ...I'll see my Tracy a - gain!
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad, ...so bad,
Aadd9 Bbsus2 Bsus2
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
F#7/11 Aadd9 E
But all good things, they say, never last...
[Coda]
F#7/11 Aadd9 E
And all good things, they say, never last...
F#7/11 Aadd9 E
And love, it isn't love ...until it's passed!
