Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Every night a tearful rosary
A victim of the curse of empathy
Her reward for compassion is to suffer
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
My shortcomings I know caused her grief
Still she loves me. This i cant believe!
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Heavens just Southwest of Cobble Hill
True, I am the son of an Angel
Maternally, not one woman compares
Nettie, no need to cry
Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
If you fall, I will catch you
When youre lost, Ill be there soon
Far away, but of course near
When youre sad, Im always here
Thank you for saving me from my self
Your compassion became its own hell
Unequally beautiful inside and out
Without a doubt
Nettie, no need to cry
Let Me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
In the verse when you play D5 F5 you can play it
either with the second string power chords at the
sixth and eighth frets, or with the first string
(drop D style) power chords on the first and third
frets. I like to alternate between the two every
other time, starting with the low chords. At the
end of every third line in each verse there is a
little break where there is guitar but no lyrics,
and you want this break to line up with the higher
D5 and F5. Listen to the song to hear what I mean.
