Spring Again

Am   F     G     Am

[Verse 1]
                      F                     Am
Forty years of winter, we never saw the sun
                                 G                 F
We never smiled at strangers, or talked to anyone
                                    G
For there were walls between us, so no one came too near
    Am                           G
And who knows who'd have seen us, we never lost that fear
   Am                             F
We bowed our heads in silence, we all lived by their law
     Am                                   G
They ruled us with their violence and the knock upon the door
   F                                G
We clung to hope with sorrow, tried not to hear the screams
  Am                       D
Tomorrow and tomorrow, but still we had our dreams


[Verse 2]
           G                    C
Of spring again, the first we'd see
           A                  D
Of spring again, when we'd be free
               B7               Em
The tales we'd tell of how we'd stand
           A                D
As tyrants fell, across our land
             G                 C
Let Spring return once more to Prague
              A                D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard

             B7                 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
              A                   D
They said was dead, they said was wrong
             G                     C
Let Spring return, let playwrights rule
          A                 D
Let poets rhyme the sins of fools
             G           C
Let Spring begin in Bucharest
          A   D             C
And in Berlin, let Spring begin

[Verse 3]
                                 F
Then we heard the whispers, they echoed on the wind
   Am                                  G
We stood in darkened corners where the posters had been pinned
F                        G
Someone said "Together", someone said "We may"
Am                             G
Someone said "No, never", then someone said "Today"
   Am                       F
So suddenly it happened, we never stopped to think
   Am                              G
We filled the square with people before the guards could blink
     F                                G
They lost their day forever when they washed the stones with blood
    Am                            D
The people were a river, then the river was a flood


[Verse 4]
             G                     C
It's Spring again, the first we'll see
             A                D
It's Spring again, and we are free
           B7                 Em
The Summer calls, but we must stand
           A                D
As tyrants fall, across our land
             G                 C
Let Spring return once more to Prague
              A                D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard
             B7                 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
              A                   D
They said was dead, they said was wrong
             G                    C
It's Spring again, the playwright rules
         A                  D
The poet rhymes the sins of fools
             G           C
Let Spring begin in Bucharest
          A   D             C
And in Berlin, let Spring begin____
