Lyrics

Don?t You Cry
Intro: Em

Em
In a room with a two-way radio
Am Em
On a night too dark to see
Em
Trying to recognize the voice
B Em
Calling out to me

Em
Static interfering
Am Em
With my ability to hear
Em
Wondering if the frequency
B Em
Would ever clear

Em
So I telegraphed my problem
Am Em
To the man in the submarine
Em
To see if this condition
B Em
Was something he?d ever seen

Em
And he told me this and he told me that
Am Em
From his hideout far below
Em
Even though I listened consciously
B
The words kept escaping me, I?m convinced
Em
he doesn?t know

Em C
Don?t you cry
Em A B
Don?t you cry
Em C
If you know it?s a lie
Em A B
Don?t you cry

Em
Tuning in a friend of mine
Am Em
On the other side of the world
Em
Looking for the secret
B Em
To find the mystery girl

Em
Her eyes were blue as diamonds
Am Em
Sparkling on the sea
Em
But she was sitting in the subway
B Em
Dangling the key

Em
Sending out a message
Am Em
Telling that I had won
Em
In the time that it takes a thought to fly

An electronic voice replied
B Em
Sorry boy, she?s gone


Chorus

C
Empty phrases
B
Echo in my head
C
Hanging very carefully
B
On every word she said

Don?t you cry


Solo (Chorus)

Em
In a room with a two-way radio
Am Em
Fumbling with the dial

What will the answer be
B Em
This is going to last a while

Em
Don?t you cry
C
In the time it takes this thought to fly
Em
Don?t you cry
C
In the exercise of asking why
Em
Don?t you cry (3 X)
