April 1
(Blackmore/Lord)
From "Deep Purple", 1969
April

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
NOTES: In the « Gm-F-Eb-D7+9 » section, the Eb can be
played on various manners, Eb 7+9, Eb 9, Eb7 or simply Eb.
Each variation gives another feeling, so use them without any
restriction and as you want, the ones I transcribed are just a
personnal view of this wonderful song.
