VERSE I
A
Shed no tears for me
F#m E
There'll be rain enough today
A C#m E
I'm wishing you Godspeed as I wave you on your way
A D A D
This won't be the first time I've stayed behind to face
E D A D
The bitter consequences of an ancient fall from grace
A D
I'm a daughter of the race of Cain
A D A
I am not stranger to the rain
VERSE II
A
Orphan in the storm
F#m E
That's a role I've played before
A
And I've learned not to tremble
C#m E
When I hear the thunder roar
D A
I don't curse what I can't change
D
I just play the hand I'm dealt
F#m A
And when they lighten up my rations
D
I tighten up my belt
A D
I won't say I've never felt the pain
A D A Bm
But I am not a stranger to the rain
BRIDGE
F#m G D A
And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I've known
F#m G D A
I wish for him another love so he won't be alone
G D A
But I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain
G F#m G A
And when the storm comes crashing on the plain
Bm F#m G A
I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane
CHORUS
D A
Oh, shed no tears for me
D G
Light no candle for my sake
D A
This journey I'll be making now
D A
Is one we all must make
G
Shoulder to the wind
D G
I'll turn my face into the spray
A
And when the heavens open
D A
Let the drops fall where they may
D G D
If they finally wash away the stain
F#m G A
From a daughter of the race of Cain
D A G D Bm A
I am not a stranger to the rain
D Bm A D
Let it rain!
