The intro riff is played for the first chorus. [Chorus] N.C. N.C. Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [Verse]
    E                     G     A
In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue

   E             G   A
Miss Red Hook of 1922

   E           G    A             E  G A
Weeping silently for the pain of others

  E               G      A
Every night a tearful rosary

     E            G       A
A victim of the curse of empathy

      E              G  A        E  G A
Her reward for compassion is to suffer
[Chorus] Bsus(b6) A Nettie, no need to cry Bsus(b6) A Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [Verse]
    E                     G     A
My shortcomings I know caused her grief

    E                     G      A
Still she loves me. This I can't believe!

    E                   G    A
Responding not with anger but a prayer

   E                    G    A
Heaven's just Southwest of Cobble Hill

  E                  G    A
True, I am the son of an Angel

  E                 G     A
Maternally, not one woman compares
[Chorus] Bsus(b6) A Nettie, no need to cry Bsus(b6) A Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [Verse]
  F       E
Invocus virium

   G         D
Solo crux matris sin

   F         E
Novo vis for tuit

   G         D
Rum repus omni dei

    E                 G
If you fall, I will catch you

     E                G
When you're lost, I'll be there soon

     E                G
Far away, but of course near

      E               G
When you're sad, I'm always here

      E                   G    A
Thank you for saving me from myself

       E                 G     A
Your compassion became its own hell

       E                  G       A
Unequivocably beautiful inside and out

  E         G  A
Without a doubt
[Chorus] Bsus(b6) A Nettie, no need to cry Bsus(b6) A Let me wipe those tear drops from your eyes [x2]
