Verse 1
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9]
Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Just after I wiped away his last tear,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9] [Emaj7sus/A]
I guess he's better off than he was before,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9]
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
Verse 2
[Eadd9] [F#7add11]
I used to cry for Tracy,
[Emaj7sus/A] [Aadd9]
'Cause he was my only friend,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9]
Those kind of cars don't pass you ...every day,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11]
I used to cry for Tracy,
[Aadd9] [Eadd9]
'Cause I want to see him again, but sometimes,
[F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Sometimes life ...ain't always the way
Chorus
[Aadd9] [E/G#] [Aadd9] [E/G#]
Sometimes it snows in April,
[Aadd9] [G#7] [F#7sus4] [F#7]
Sometimes I feel so bad, ...so bad,
[Aadd9] [Bbsus2] [Bsus2]
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
[F#7add11] [Bsus2] [E] [E6] [E9]
And all good things, they say, never last
Verse 3
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9]
Springtime was al - ways my favourite time of year,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Now springtime only re - minds me of Tracy's tears,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Always cry for love, ...never cry for pain
Bridge
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
He used to say so strong, un----afraid to die,
[Aadd9] [E]
Unafraid of the death that left me hypno- tised, no,
[F#7add11] [Aadd9] [Emaj7sus/A]
Staring at his picture I've real - ised...
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A] [Aadd9]
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Aadd9]
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
Chorus
[Aadd9] [E/G#] [Aadd9] [E/G#]
Sometimes it snows in April,
[Aadd9] [G#7] [C#m7] [F#7sus4] [F#7]
Sometimes I feel so bad------------,
[Aadd9] [Bbsus2]
Some - times, sometimes I wish...
[Bsus2]
That life was never ending,
[F#7add11] [Bsus2] [E] [E6] [E9]
But all good things, they say, never last
Verse 4
[Eadd9] [F#7add11]
I often dream of heaven,
[Aadd9]
And I know that Tracy's there,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
I know that he has found another friend,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow,
[Eadd9] [F#7add11] [Emaj7sus/A]
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy a - gain
Chorus
[Aadd9] [E/G#] [Aadd9] [E/G#]
Sometimes it snows in April,
[Aadd9] [G#7] [C#m7] [F#7sus4] [F#7]
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad,
[Aadd9] [Bbsus2] [Bsus2]
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
[F#7add11] [Bsus2] [E]
But all good things, they say, never last
Coda
[F#7add11] [Aadd9] [E]
And all good things, they say, never last
[F#7add11] [Aadd9] [E]
And love, it isn't love until it's passed

the following options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below eight of the diagrams.
The other chord boxes should be the default
first option and don't need any reselecting. As long
as you are logged into your account, these choices
will be saved automatically for every time you view

F#7sus4 F#7add11 F#7 Emaj7sus/A

C#m7 E/G# G#7 E6
<3 of 37> <15 of 23> <2 of 25> <2 of 59>
There was no diagram of the Aadd9 voicing which
would match the suggestion in my chord legend,
so use the default <1 of 17> option if necessary.
