Chords for THE REVOLUTION • Sometimes It Snows In April • BB King NYC • 4/28/17 (BEST QUALITY)

_ _ _ _ _ I've said [G] something that I'm about to tell [Db] you a few times now [Gb] and I don't know if [E] everybody
in the room knows this, but try and let [Eb] this land for a second.
_ [Ab] The night Prince died, April [Db] 21st, _ [G] Lisa and Prince and [N] I, many years prior on that same
night, wrote Sometimes It Snows in April.
_ _ _ _ Yeah.
_ So, you know, we thought about how we were going to do a tour, _ what we were, what was
our intention, why we do, what's going on here? _
_ _ _ Um, and it was because of coincidences like that, that we were compelled to bring this
stuff to you guys. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I don't know if you can see the hand, but what has ended up happening [Db] for all of [Eb] us,
including the revolution, is that he sits in all of us now.
He's, [B] which he's probably, which we venture, [N] are the greatest composers, right? _
So even when I personally [B] will be recording something completely different than this [F] world,
if I'm composing something, I think to myself, is that good enough?
Is that something he would like?
[Gb] Right?
[Bb] I'm sure a lot of you in here, if you [Db] haven't met him, would think to yourself, I [N] wonder
if he'd like me. _
I'm sure he would. _ _ _ _
So, um, _ we're going to sing a song tonight, but we're singing it not because _ it's not
that, it's that we need to kind of _ _ create a place for all of us to land.
It's sort of our own little Shiva. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And I think he'd want you guys to take it, really take it back.
Okay?
So it's going to be a little time, so just bear with us.

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ He seemed to die soon [D] after a long fall, [F] a silver one.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [C] Just after [A] I went [F] away.
_ _ Guess _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] he's better [Dm] off _ than he was before. _
_ _ _ _ [C] A whole lot better off.
That shit he left you.
Right.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I used to cry, _ [A] cause he was [F] my old friend.
_ [F] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] Those kind of calls [Dm] don't pass you [F] every day.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _

[F] to see him again.

holding hands.
[F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ Springtime always [D]
reminds me.
[A] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ Always cry for [A] love, never [C] cry for [F] pain. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] To say it's so [A] strong, oh, unafraid to die.
_ Unafraid of the death that always left me hypnotized.

Staring at his picture [F] of the night, _ _
_ _ _ [C] no one could cry [A] for me.

_ _ _ _ _ Sometimes [D] it's cold _ in the neighborhood. _ _

_ [D] So bad.
_ _ [F] _ Sometimes [Ab] I wish _ [Am] life was never ended.
_ _ _ _ But things they say, they [C] never last.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ I often dream [D] of heaven, _ _ [C] and I know he's there. _ _ _
_ _ I know he's probably found [D]
a lot of great [F] friends. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] And I bet he's definitely [D] found the answer to all the April [F] snow. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ Maybe we'll see our [D]
loved man again.
