VERSE I

A5
Shed no tears for me
            F#5         E5
There'll be rain enough today
    A5                         C#5              E5
I'm wishing you Godspeed as I wave you on your way
A5                       D5          A5                D5
This won't be the first time I've stayed behind to face
    E5           D5             A5                 D5
The bitter consequences of an ancient fall from grace
      A5                       D5
I'm a daughter of the race of Cain
A5              D5         A5
I am not stranger to the rain

VERSE II
A5 
Orphan in the storm
         F#5              E5
That's a role I've played before
         A5              
And I've learned not to tremble
       C#5              E5
When I hear the thunder roar
        D5                  A5
I don't curse what I can't change
       D5                      
I just play the hand I'm dealt
              F#5            A5
And when they lighten up my rations
  D5
I tighten up my belt
        A5                       D5
I won't say I've never felt the pain
    A5                D5         A5    B5
But I am not a stranger to the rain

BRIDGE 
    F#5               G5            D5                  A5
And for the boy who's given me the sweetest love I've known
  F#5         G5                D5           A5
I wish for him another love so he won't be alone
G5                                D5               A5
But I am bound to walk among the wounded and the slain
G5             F#5           G5            A5
And when the storm comes crashing on the plain
        B5              F#5                G5              A5
I will dance before the lightning to music sacred and profane

CHORUS 
    D5                 A5
Oh, shed no tears for me
         D5             G5
Light no candle for my sake
     D5               A5
This journey I'll be making now
   D5               A5
Is one we all must make 
G5               
Shoulder to the wind
             D5             G5
I'll turn my face into the spray
    A5
And when the heavens open
        D5                     A5
Let the drops fall where they may
        D5            G5        D5
If they finally wash away the stain
       F#5             G5       A5
From a daughter of the race of Cain
D5          A5       G5           D5 B5 A5
I am not a stranger to the rain 
            D5 B5 A5 D5 
Let it rain!
