[Chorus]
 N.C.
Nettie, no need to cry
 N.C.
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
 
[Verse]
    E                     G     A
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
   E             G   A
Miss Red Hook of 1922
   E           G    A             E  G A
Weeping silently for the pain of others
  E               G      A
Every night a tearful rosary
     E            G       A
A victim of the curse of empathy
      E              G  A        E  G A
Her reward for compassion is to suffer
 
 
[Chorus]
     Bsus(b6)            A
Nettie, no need to cry
     Bsus(b6)                A
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
 
[Verse]
    E                     G     A
My shortcomings I know caused her grief
    E                     G      A
Still she loves me. This I can't believe!
    E                   G    A
Responding not with anger but a prayer
   E                    G    A
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
  E                  G    A
True, I am the son of an Angel
  E                 G     A
Maternally, not one woman compares
 
 
[Chorus]
  Bsus(b6)   A
Nettie, no need to cry
   Bsus(b6)    A
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
 
[Verse]
  F       E
Invocus virium
   G         D
Solo crux matris sin
   F         E
Novo vis for tuit
   G         D
Rum repus omni dei
    E                 G
If you fall, I will catch you
     E                G
When you're lost, I'll be there soon
     E                G
Far away, but of course near
      E               G
When you're sad, I'm always here
      E                   G    A
Thank you for saving me from myself
       E                 G     A
Your compassion became its own hell
       E                  G       A
Unequivocably beautiful inside and out
  E         G  A
Without a doubt
 
 
[Chorus]
Bsus(b6)       A
Nettie, no need to cry
Bsus(b6)      A
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
