Deep Purple
April
"Deep Purple" (1969)
April
! (Blackmore/Lord)
> Gm F
April is a cruel time
> Eb7
Even though the sun may shine
> D7+9
And world will turn to shake
> Gm
As it slowly comes away
> F
Still falls the April rain
> Eb7+9
And the valley's filled with pain
> D7+9
And you can't tell if I cry
> Gm F
As i look up to the grey sky
> (F)
Where it should be blue
> Eb9 D7+9
Grey sky where I should see you
> Gm F
Ask why, why it should be so
> Eb7+9 D7+9
I'll cry, say that I don't know
> Eb Bb
Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
> Cm
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
> D7(+9)
Of an April lonely as they come
> Eb Bb
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
> Cm
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
> D7+9
And the springtime's the season of the night
