When the night      has come                       and the land is da-   rk
               B               C#              F#               F#

If the sky     that we look up-on                 should tumble and fall
               B               C#              F#            F#
And the mount- ain      should crumble to the sea
               F#               F#              D#m          D#m
I won't cry,       I won't cry,    no, I      won't shed a tear
