 Nettie,  no need   to    cry
G      Bm               A/E                    E/G#
 Let me  wipe those tear   drops from your eyes

[Verse 1]
Bm                         D        E
  In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue
Bm                          D     E
  Miss Red Hook of nineteen twentytwo
Bm              D    E           Bm
Weeping silently for the pain of others
D E Bm                      D   E
      Every night a tearful rosary
Bm                         D   E
  A victim of the curse of empathy
Bm                D  E          Bm    D E
Her reward for compassion is to suffer

Bm                       D          E
  My shortcomings I know caused her grief
Bm
  Still she loves me.
       D       E
This I can't believe!
Bm                 D E          Bm
Responding not with anger but a prayer
D E
Bm                           D      E
  Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill
Bm                      D   E
  True, I am the son of an Angel
Bm             D    E        Bm   D E
Maternally, not one woman compares

[Chorus]
G       Bm       A/E  E/G#
 Nettie,  no need   to    cry
G      Bm               A/E                    E/G#
 Let me  wipe those tear   drops from your eyes

Novo vis for tuit
D         G#m7b5
Rum repus omni dei

          When you're lost,
Bm             D
  I'll be there soon
G#m7b5 F#m         Bm             D
          Far away,  but of course near
G#m7b5 F#m
          When you're sad,
Bm          D    G#m7b5
  I'm always here

[Verse 3]
Bm                        D      E
  Thank you for saving me from myself
Bm                       D       E
  Your compassion became its own hell
Bm                D E     Bm
Unequivocally beautiful inside and out
    D          E
Without a doubt
