Biography:
Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.
The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

Verse 1:
D(all the way)
Let the rain fall down
let it fall to the ground
Let the rain fall down
to the ground
And the birds don't sing
no they don't make a sound
When you're six feet underground
Well they cast me out
when the word spread around
That I never sang in the church
And it took one night
for the town to decide
I'm afflicted by the curse
Refrain 1:
Eb
And the rain falls down
D--
let it fall to the ground
Eb
And the birds don't sing
D--
no they don't make a sound
Eb
So I look to the sky
F#
tell me why tell me why
Gm F/A Bb
Do they all get to live
Cm D
and I have to die?
Verse 2:
D(all the way)
So they marched me down
to the center of town
With their pitchforks
high in the air
I was chained and bound
with a blindfold around
So the judge wouldn't
catch my stare
And they hung my soul
from the gallows pole
But the witch
they never found
So to those who don't
fit society's mold
Learn to swim or
you will drown
(Repeat Refrain)
Chorus:
Bb
And the angels sing
F
let it shine let it shine
Cm
Dry the teardrops
Gm
from my eyes
Bb
And the bells will ring when
F
the blind lead the blind
Cm Gm
Cause the dead can't testify
Bb
And because I can't
F
take an eye for an eye
Eb
In the afterlife I'll
Gm D--
haunt you till you die!
Guitar Solo: D-- x8
Refrain 2:
Eb
And the rain falls down
let it fall to the ground
D
with teardrops on the ground!!!
Eb
And the birds don't sing
no they don't make a sound
D
with your 6 feet underground!!!
Eb
So I look to the sky
F#
tell me why tell me why
Gm F/A Bb
Do they all get to live
Cm D
and I have to die?
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Outro: D-- x8
