Tears by Jericho McLean
Tears
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Aadd9 Gadd9
I cry, for all of those who died
Gadd9 Aadd9
Not for the colour of their skin
Aadd9 Gadd9
Not for perception of their sin
Gadd9 D
Not for a war they’re fighting in
D Cadd9
Just for the place where they had been
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F
[Verse 2]
Aadd9 Gadd9
I cry, because no one tells me why
Gadd9 Aadd9
Cry for the fanning of the flames
Aadd9 Gadd9
Cry for the passing of the blame
Gadd9 D
Cry for the policies of shame
D Cadd9
And circumstances unexplained
D Cadd9 D F
[Verse 3]
Aadd9 Gadd9
Ask why, ask why so many people lie
Gadd9 Aadd9
Why they distort what’s happening
Aadd9 Gadd9
Why they must cover up the scene
Gadd9 D
And hide the truth of what has been
D Cadd9
When what was real is just obscene
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F
[Verse 4]
Aadd9 Gadd9
I cry, because I know eye for an eye
Gadd9 Aadd9
Will make it worse, exacerbate
Aadd9 Gadd9
Mistrust, suspicion and more hate
Gadd9 D
I have to watch it escalate
D Cadd9
Into a cataclysmic state
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F
[Verse 5]
Aadd9 Gadd9
I cry, I cry for those who’ve yet to die
Gadd9 Aadd9
I cry because it’s not the end
Aadd9 Gadd9
Some wounds may never get to mend
Gadd9 D
‘Cause no-one knows how to defend
D Cadd9
Against imaginary friends
D Cadd9 D F
D Cadd9 D F
A
I cry
