Spring Again

Am   F     G     Am

[Verse 1]
                      F            
Forty years of winter, we never saw
         Am
 the sun
We never smiled at strangers, or 
G                 F
talked to anyone
For there were walls between us, so 
G
no one came too near
    Am                           G
And who knows who'd have seen us, we
 never lost that fear
   Am                             
We bowed our heads in silence, we 
F
all lived by their law
     Am                          
They ruled us with their violence 
         G
and the knock upon the door
   F                               
We clung to hope with sorrow, tried
 G
 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              
The tales we'd tell of how we'd 
 Em
stand
           A                D
As tyrants fell, across our land
             G                
Let Spring return once more to 
 C
Prague
              A                D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard

             B7                 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
              A                   
They said was dead, they said was 
D
wrong
             G                     
Let Spring return, let playwrights 
C
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]
Then we heard the whispers, they 
F
echoed on the wind
   Am                              
We stood in darkened corners where 
    G
the posters had been pinned
F                        G
Someone said "Together", someone 
said "We may"
Am                           
Someone said "No, never", then 
  G
someone said "Today"
   Am                       F
So suddenly it happened, we never 
stopped to think
   Am                           
We filled the square with people 
   G
before the guards could blink
     F                          
They lost their day forever when 
      G
they washed the stones with blood
    Am                            
The people were a river, then the 
D
river was a flood


[Verse 4]
             G                     
It's Spring again, the first we'll 
C
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                
Let Spring return once more to 
 C
Prague
              A                D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard
             B7                 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
              A                   
They said was dead, they said was 
D
wrong
             G                    
It's Spring again, the playwright 
C
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____
