[Verse 1]
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9
Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Just after I wiped away his last tear,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9 Emaj7sus/A
I guess he's better off than he was before,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
[Verse 2]
Eadd9 F#7add11
I used to cry for Tracy,
Emaj7sus/A Aadd9
'Cause he was my only friend,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9
Those kind of cars don't pass you ...every day,
Eadd9 F#7add11
I used to cry for Tracy,
Aadd9 Eadd9
'Cause I want to see him again, but sometimes,
F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Sometimes life ...ain't always the way
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad, ...so bad,
Aadd9 Bbsus2 Bsus2
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
F#7add11 Bsus2 E E6 E9
And all good things, they say, never last
[Verse 3]
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9
Springtime was al - ways my favourite time of year,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
A time for lovers holding hands in the rain,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Now springtime only re - minds me of Tracy's tears,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Always cry for love, ...never cry for pain
[Bridge]
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
He used to say so strong, un----afraid to die,
Aadd9 E
Unafraid of the death that left me hypno- tised, no,
F#7add11 Aadd9 Emaj7sus/A
Staring at his picture I've real - ised…
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A Aadd9
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
Eadd9 F#7add11 Aadd9
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 C#m7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad------------,
Aadd9 Bbsus2
Some - times, sometimes I wish...
Bsus2
...That life was never ending,
F#7add11 Bsus2 E E6 E9
But all good things, they say, never last
[Verse 4]
Eadd9 F#7add11
I often dream of heaven,
Aadd9
And I know that Tracy's there,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
I know that he has found another friend,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow,
Eadd9 F#7add11 Emaj7sus/A
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy a - gain
[Chorus]
Aadd9 E/G# Aadd9 E/G#
Sometimes it snows in April,
Aadd9 G#7 C#m7 F#7sus4 F#7
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad,
Aadd9 Bbsus2 Bsus2
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
F#7add11 Bsus2 E
But all good things, they say, never last
[Coda]
F#7add11 Aadd9 E
And all good things, they say, never last
F#7add11 Aadd9 E
And love, it isn't love until it's passed

Thank you so much for posting a perfect take on this, you have made my day to be able to finally learn this beautiful favourite of mine among so many of Prince's...sadly now so poignant and impossible to hold it together while learning,but it feels the only way to be able to keep his memory alive and pay tribute somehow to such an amazing artist, may he continue to inspire people to feel and play real music, be at peace Prince x
