Harvey Andrews - Spring again

Forty years of winter,^F we never saw the sun ^Am We never smiled at strangers, or ^Gtalked to anyone ^F For there were walls between us, so ^Gno one came too near And ^Amwho knows who'd have seen us,^G we never lost that fear We ^Ambowed our heads in silence, we ^Fall lived by their law They ^Amruled us with their violence and the ^Gknock upon the door We ^Fclung to hope with sorrow, tried ^Gnot to hear the screams To^Ammorrow and tomorrow, but ^Dstill we had our dreams

Of spring a^Ggain, the first we'd ^Csee Of spring a^Again, when we'd be ^Dfree The tales we'd ^B7tell of how we'd ^Emstand As tyrants ^Afell, across our ^Dland Let Spring re^Gturn once more to ^CPrague Take down the ^Awall, disarm the ^Dguard It's time to ^B7sing our long lost ^Emsong They said was ^Adead, they said was ^Dwrong Let Spring re^Gturn, let playwrights ^Crule Let poets ^Arhyme the sins of ^Dfools Let Spring be^Ggin in Bucha^Crest And in Ber^Alin,^D let Spring be^Cgin

Then we heard the whispers, they ^Fechoed on the wind We ^Amstood in darkened corners where the ^Gposters had been pinned ^FSomeone said "Together", ^Gsomeone said "We may" ^AmSomeone said "No, never", then ^Gsomeone said "Today" So ^Amsuddenly it happened, we ^Fnever stopped to think We ^Amfilled the square with people be^Gfore the guards could blink They ^Flost their day forever when they ^Gwashed the stones with blood The ^Ampeople were a river, then the ^Driver was a flood

It's Spring a^Ggain, the first we'll ^Csee It's Spring a^Again, and we are ^Dfree The Summer ^B7calls, but we must ^Emstand As tyrants ^Afall, across our ^Dland Let Spring re^Gturn once more to ^CPrague Take down the ^Awall, disarm the ^Dguard It's time to ^B7sing our long lost ^Emsong They said was ^Adead, they said was ^Dwrong It's Spring a^Ggain, the playwright ^Crules The poet ^Arhymes the sins of ^Dfools Let Spring be^Ggin in Bucha^Crest And in Ber^Alin,^D let Spring be^Cgin____

Let Spring be^Agin
