Intro: [1:14]

E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (2x)

||||| E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (4x)
Verse: [1:33]

Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before,
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here.

||||| E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (4x)
Verse: [2:11]

I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because he was my only friend,
Those kind of cars don't pass u every day.
I used 2 cry 4 Tracy because I wanted to see him again,
But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way.

||||| A-- G#m7(-5)-- A-- G#m7/11(+5)-- A-- Ab7-- F#sus4/C#-- F#/C#--
__ A-- Bbsus2-- Bsus2-- Bsus2-- F#7/11(-5)-- BM7#11-- EM7(-5)-- E2
Chorus: [2:49]

Sometimes it snows in April,
Sometimes I feel so bad,
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last.

||||| E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (4x)
Verse: [3:26]

Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain,
Now Springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears,
Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

||||| E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (5x)
Verse: [4:02]

{He used 2} say so strong unafraid to die,
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized,
No staring at his picture I realized,

No one could cry the way my Tracy cried.

||||| A-- G#m7(-5)-- A-- G#m7/11(+5)-- A-- Ab7-- F#sus4/C#-- F#/C#--
__ A-- Bbsus2-- Bsus2-- Bsus2-- F#7/11(-5)-- BM7#11-- EM7(-5)-- E2
Chorus: [4:39]

Sometimes it snows in April,
Sometimes I feel so bad,
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last.

||||| E2-- F#7/11-- A2 (#4)-- A2-- (4x)
Verse: [5:15]

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there.
I know that he has found another friend.
Maybe he's found the answer 2 all the April snow.
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again.

||||| A-- G#m7(-5)-- A-- G#m7/11(+5)-- A-- Ab7-- F#sus4/C#-- F#/C#--
__ A-- Bbsus2-- Bsus2-- Bsus2-- F#7/11(-5)-- BM6/7-- E-- E--
Chorus: [5:53]

Sometimes it snows in April,
Sometimes I feel so bad,
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
And all good things, they say, never last.

||||| F#9/11(-5)-- BM6/7-- E-- E (2x)
Tag: [6:29]
All good things they say, never last
Love, it isn't love until it's past.

End: [6:49]
