Let Her Cry
Daruis Rucker, Dean Felber, Mark Bryan, & Jim Sonefeld

Hootie and the Blowfish
Cracked Rear View
1994

Even though Hootie's music got boring really fast, this is a good song
off the CRV album.  This must have been one of the first songs I learned
during the summer of '95, because my girlfriend loved it so I wanted to
impress her.  But here it is, and the solo is easy so figure it out if
you play electric.

Chords

G                          D
     She sits alone by a lamppost
Cadd9                                             G
     Tryin' to find the thought that escaped her mind
G                                D
     She says "Dad’s the one I love the most
Cadd9
     But Stipe’s not far behind"


She never lets 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
And I pray to God "you gotta help me fly away"

CHORUS
                 Cadd9
And just let her cry
       G
If the tears fall down like rain
        Cadd9
Let her sing
      Em    G       D
If it eases all her pain
        Cadd9
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 standin' by the phone
Saying maybe I’ll be back some day
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn’t know just what I should do
So I sat back down had a beer and felt sorry for myself

CHORUS

Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I just could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
I sat down on my couch and cried, yelling
"Oh mama please help me
Won’t you hold my hand"


CHORUS
