Tabbed by:Trephinix Email:trephinix@lavbit.com Tuning:- C# G# C# F# A# D# (Drop C#) all chords written as if in standard tuning Chorus: Ab5 C5 Bb5 A5 Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes Verse 1: C5 Eb5 F5 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 Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes Verse 2: My shortcomings I know caused her grief Still she loves me. This i can’t believe! Responding not with anger but a prayer Heaven’s just Southwest of Cobble Hill True, I am the son of an Angel Maternally, not one woman compares Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes Bridge: D5 C5 Bb5 A5 If you fall, I will catch you When you’re lost, I’ll be there soon Far away, but of course near When you’re sad, I’m always here Verse 3: Thank you for saving me from my self Your compassion became its own hell Unequally beautiful inside and out Without a doubt Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let Me wipe those teardrops from your eyes In the verse when you play D#5 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 D#5 and F5. Listen to the song to hear what I mean. I wrote out the chords as if everything was done in standard tuning because the positions of those chords is more recognizable. If you want to get picky, these are the chords you are actually playing: Ab5 = G5 C5 = B5 Bb5 = A5 A5 = Ab5 Eb5 = D5 F5 = E5
