And af ter (D)the storm

I run and run as (D)the rains (G)come and (G)I look (D7)up.

You must know life to (D)see de (G)cay.

But (G)I won’t (D7)rot.

That’s I won’t (C)rot.

that’s Not this (C)mind and not this heart, that’s I won’t (D)rot.

And I took you (D)by the (Em)hand

and (C)we stood (G)tall.

And re mem bered (D)our own (Em)land,

what (C)we live (G)for.

But (C)there will come a (Em)time, you’ll (G)see, with no more tears.

And (C)love will not (Em)break your (G)heart but dis miss your fears.

Get (C)o ver your (Em)hill and (G)see what you find there.

With (C)grace in your (Em)heart and (G)flow ers in your hair.

(G)where.

Be cause death is (D)just so (Em)full

and (C)man so (G)small.

Well, I’m scared of (D)what’s be (Em)hind

and (C)what’s be (G)fore.

But (C)there will come a (Em)time, you’ll (G)see, with no more tears.

And (C)love will not (Em)break your (G)heart but dis miss your fears.

Get (C)o ver your (Em)hill and (G)see what you find there.

With (C)grace in your (Em)heart and (G)flow ers in your hair.

(C)There will come a (Em)time, you’ll (G)see, with no more tears.

And (C)love will not (Em)break your (G)heart but dis miss your fears.

Get (C)o ver your (Em)hill and (G)see what you find there.

With (C)grace in your (Em)heart and (G)flow ers in your hair.

(G)flow ers in your hair.
