@SONG: * LET HER CRY
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
G D
She sits alone by a lamppost
C (or Csus9) G
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She never let's me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away
And just...
C
Let her cry
G
If the tears fall down like rain
C
Let her sing
Em G D
If it eases all her pain
C
Let her go
G
Let her walk right out on me
D
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
C G
Let her be, let her be
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying, "Baby, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying...
(chorus)
(solo - 8 bars over verse)
(chorus)
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
And I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling "Oh mama, please help me
Won't you hold my hand"
And...
(chorus) x 2

| The last verse is the saddest. Hell, Shakespeare and all those other old bastards wrote about unrequited love and this is much the same. He loves a women who doesn't feel the same, but he has idealized. Then he sees here coming in to get high and sees that she isn't as perfect as he thinks. It hurts to have you icons and idols shattered 1 2 Next | |
