Artist - Tim Buckley
Song - Cripples Cry
Album - This track wasn't released on any of Buckley's studio albums but a version can
found on the bootleg 'Live at the Folklore Center 1967', which is of a January '67
in Greenwich Village.  A studio version was definitely recorded around the time of 
and Hello, and is allegedly sitting in the archives of Herb Cohen, Buckley's then manager.
it'll get a proper release some day (although given that Starsailor and Blue Afternoon 
remain out of print I wouldn't hold your breath!).

The whole song uses the same four chords over and over.  The basic pattern in the
on the root chord seems to be:

       Ae-----------------------| (x02220@1)B---------------3-------|
G-------------3---3-----|
D-----------------------|
A------0----------------|
E-----------------------|

And then I guess pick as suits your style, or listen to the recording to see how it's
there.  If you have a beautiful voice with a four octave range that will probably add
to its performance as well...

NB - I can't be 100% sure on the lyrics cos the bootleg's kind of poor quality.  I think
mostly right though.
