AGDDAGDD
AE You clean your room and under your bed GD Lay a picture long forgotten AE With a hand to your head you sigh out loud GD As a memory rushes over AGDD And buries you
A Summer rain storm E But the shed was dry GD With a girl from Carolina A And you held her so tight E For the warmth that the rain denied GD As the time was slow to a flash BmD So alive Listen to them when they say
CHORUS: AGDD Cry in the sun AGDD When the devil beats his wife AGDD Cry, cry, cry in the sun BmDAGDD Hope I never see the price of my freedom yeah
A We dance and sing now E Trace the moon GD As it crawled across the night sky A Covered in a dream E A lovers' pact GD Here's the now and don't look back BmD Oh and how I tried To heed the words written here
CHORUS: AGDD Cry in the sun AGDD When the devil beats his wife AGDD Cry, cry, cry in the sun BmDAGDD Hope I never see the price of my freedom
BRIDGE:
BmD For everyone yeah AE There's a person place or time BmD That brings you back and makes you feel alive AE Before your reason clouds your eye GD You could rule the world if you wanted to
AEGD
AE Well I hear you're living far away GD And that life's treated you well AE You know that we were young and this picture's old GD But I still can hear you say through the pounding of the rain BmD And don't if you try Tell me can you hear them say
CHORUS: AGDD Cry in the sun AGDD When the devil beats his wife AGDD Cry, cry, cry in the sun BmD Hope I never see the price of my freedom BmD Hope I never see the price of my freedom
