NIXONS - "don t cry" Tablature
Official NIXONS Tablature & Sheet Music »
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 pretty 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 played 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
G Em C
If you ever turn, if you ever stop, and ask the question
G Em C
If you only knew the right question
G Em C
Take a look around, you're the only one still here
G Em C
And the lights went out hours ago
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out, so innocent
D5 C
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
G D5 C
Just try to learn to stay
Verse 2
G Em C
If you ever go to another place just know I'm trying
G Em C
To keep what I can together
G Em C
I'm seeing for a time, I can never fill the empty space that you
G Em C
Keep inside to be more alone
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out so innocent
D5 C
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
G Em C
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.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NIXONS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
