Children Of Eden - I Am Not A Stranger To The Rain

• A

VERSE I

A
Shed no tears for me
            F#m         E
There'll be rain enough today
    A                         D               E
I'm wishing you Godspeed as I wave you on your way
A                       D          A                D
This won't be the first time I've stayed behind to face
    E           D             A                 D
The bitter consequences of an ancient fall from grace
      A                       D
I'm a daughter of the race of Cain
A              D         A
I am not stranger to the rain

VERSE II
A 
Orphan in the storm
         F#m              E
That's a role I've played before
         A              
And I've learned not to tremble
       C#m              E
When I hear the thunder roar
        D                  A
I don't curse what I can't change
       D                      
I just play the hand I'm dealt
              F#m            A
And when they lighten up my rations
  D
I tighten up my belt
        A                       D
I won't say I've never felt the pain
    A                D         A    F#m
But I am not a stranger to the rain

BRIDGE 
    F#m               D            A                  E
And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I've known
  F#m                  D       A           E
I wish for him another love so he won't be alone
Bm                     A         F#m             E
But I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain
Bm           F#m           A             E
And when the storm comes crashing on the plain
        Bm              F#m                D              E
I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane

CHORUS 
    A                 D
Oh, shed no tears for me
         A             D
Light no candle for my sake
     A               D
This journey I'll be taking now
   A               E
Is one we all must make 
A               
Shoulder to the wind
             D             E     
I'll turn my face into the spray
    D                A
And when the heavens open
        D                     E
Let the drops fall where they may
        A            D        A
If they finally wash away the stain
       A               D       E
From a daughter of the race of Cain
A                 D           A F#m D
I am not a stranger to the rain 
            A F#m D A 
Let it rain!
