VERSE:
F#m   E    A
Everybody cries
F#m   E    D
Everybody dies
          F#m        E   
It's the truth that makes 
     A
us one
          A     E       D
It's the center of our sun
      F#m       E      A
As we take the lonely path
        A          E      
On the road to the edge of 
 D  F#m
man

VERSE:
    A        E        C#m
Beneath the darkening sky
    F#m       E      D
We curse and wonder why
    A         E       C#m
As fear wakes up the beast
         A     E        D
And the devil comes to feast
       F#m      E      A
And we sink in mortal sand
        A          E      
On the road to the edge of
 F#m D
 man

CHORUS:
 F               G      Am D
Who will be the last to die
      F          G      Am
In a land where empires cry?
 F               G     
Who will be the last to 
    Am D
remain
              F     E      
Where there's only God and 
 Am
pain?

VERSE:
        F#m      E    A
There's nothing more brave
           F#m     E       
Than those voices from the 
 D
grave
     F#m       E       A
Only they can tell us why
     F#m        E     D
Only they will never lie
          F#m     E        A
About the reason that we stand
        A          E       
On the road to the edge of 
 D F#m
man

CHORUS:
 F               G      Am D
Who will be the last to die
      F          G      Am
In a land where empires cry?
 F               G         Am D
Who will be the last to remain
              F     E       Am
Where there's only God and pain?

VERSE:
     F#m     E       A
They warn us of the lie
       F#m       E      D
With a mournful battle cry
        D    E       A
Of the reckoning at hand
       A                C#m
As we reach the edge of man
     A        E     D
And make our final stand
         D       E       A
There's nowhere left to pray

OUTRO:
              F     E     
Where there's only God and 
  Am D
pain
              F     A  A E A
Where there's only God

How to play Everybody Cries: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Everybody Cries by Rita Wilson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Everybody Cries by Rita Wilson keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 8 chords: F#m, E, A, D, C#m, F, G and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is E – D – F#m – E (V – IV – vi – V in A major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#m, C#m and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
