Nettie Cifras

[Intro]
Em Am7 Em Cmaj7
 
[Chorus]
Em         Fmaj7   Cmaj7
Nettie, no need to cry
Am7              F                   Cmaj7
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
Em         Fmaj7   Cmaj7
Nettie, no need to cry
Am7              F                   Cmaj7
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
[Verse]
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
In the dark, bathed in cathode ray blue
Em             Cmaj7   G6
Miss Red Hook of 1922
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Weeping silently for the pain of others
Em                     Cmaj7  G6
Every night a tearful rosary
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
A victim of the curse of empathy
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Her reward for compassion is to suffer
 
[Chorus]
Em         Fmaj7   Cmaj7
Nettie, no need to cry
Am7              F                   Cmaj7
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
[Verse]
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
My shortcomings, I know, caused her grief
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Still she loves me, this I can't believe
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Responding not with anger but a prayer
Em                      Cmaj7       G6
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
Em                     Cmaj7  G6
True, I am the son of an Angel
Em                  Cmaj7       G6
Maternally, not one woman compares
 
[Chorus]
Em         Fmaj7   Cmaj7
Nettie, no need to cry
Am7              F                   Cmaj7
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
[Verse]
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Invocus virium
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Solo crux matris sin
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Novo vis for tuit
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Rum repus omni dei
 
[Bridge]
Em              G6
If you fall, I will catch you
Em               G6
When you're lost, I'll be there soon
(If I fall) far away
Em            G6
But of course near (here I am)
Em             G6
When you're sad (memories on going)
Em             G6
I'm always here (only us will remain)
 
[Verse]
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Thank you for saving me from myself
Em                  Cmaj7       G6
Your compassion became its own hell
Em                     Cmaj7       G6
Unequivocably beautiful inside and out
Em        Cmaj7  G6
Without a doubt
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         Fmaj7   Cmaj7
Nettie, no need to cry
Am7              F                   Cmaj7
Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes
 
[Outro]
Em
Nettie
