Am F G Am
[Verse 1]
F Am
Forty years of winter, we never saw the sun
G F
We never smiled at strangers, or talked to anyone
G
For there were walls between us, so no one came too near
Am G
And who knows who'd have seen us, we never lost that fear
Am F
We bowed our heads in silence, we all lived by their law
Am G
They ruled us with their violence and the knock upon the door
F G
We clung to hope with sorrow, tried 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 Em
The tales we'd tell of how we'd stand
A D
As tyrants fell, across our land
G C
Let Spring return once more to Prague
A D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard
B7 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
A D
They said was dead, they said was wrong
G C
Let Spring return, let playwrights 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
[Instrumental]
C7 Am E Am F G Am
[Verse 3]
F
Then we heard the whispers, they echoed on the wind
Am G
We stood in darkened corners where the posters had been pinned
F G
Someone said "Together", someone said "We may"
Am G
Someone said "No, never", then someone said "Today"
Am F
So suddenly it happened, we never stopped to think
Am G
We filled the square with people before the guards could blink
F G
They lost their day forever when they washed the stones with blood
Am D
The people were a river, then the river was a flood
[Verse 4]
G C
It's Spring again, the first we'll 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 C
Let Spring return once more to Prague
A D
Take down the wall, disarm the guard
B7 Em
It's time to sing our long lost song
A D
They said was dead, they said was wrong
G C
It's Spring again, the playwright 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____
[Outro]
Am E Am F G

Let Spring begin
