Song
The Nixons - Don't Cry
This is a fairly simple song. I'm not sure of the words exactly, since they aren't printed in the insert.
This song is played tuned down 1/2 step. I just listened to the song to get the tuning right, but I am
sure that it is 1/2 a step down.
The C with a * beside it is a different fingering. If you know how to play Sister then it's the same C
in that song, but for those who don't here's the fingering:
C* - 0 3 2 0 3 0
G - 3 2 0 0 0 3
Em - 0 2 2 0 0 0
C - 0 3 2 0 1 0
D5 - 0 0 0 2 3 0
If you ever turn, if you ever stop, and ask the question
If you only knew the right question
Take a look around, you're the only one still here
And the lights went out hours ago
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out, so innocent
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
Just try to learn to stay
Verse 2
If you ever go to another place just know I'm trying
To keep what I can together
I'm seeing for a time, I can never fill the empty space that you
Keep inside to be more alone
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out so innocent
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
Just try to learn to stay
Chorus x2
Bridge
D5 C*
I know the clouds are coming (but it's not enough to tell)
D5 C*
The way the sunlight's burning (it brings another day)
D5 C*
Don't go (don't go) no matter what I say
Guitar Solo
Just play G Em C
Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
Then there's kind of an ending verse
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to see you just one last time before your flight
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to be your fuse on the fourth of July
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to see you just one last time before you go
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to only, let you know
Then play G Em C a few times repeating the words "let you know" every once in a while, and then end on G.
