No Crying No More
Bic Runga
Taken from the album "Birds"
Transcribed by Neil Parry neil@glasgowskyline.com
I can play this near note perfect, however I cannot TAB it note perfect as it's too
tricky!! but this should
get you pretty close. It's essentially a melody line with a constant bass note on the G
(6th string 3rd fret)
I would recommend, ignoring the bass note at first and just learn the melody line, then
when you're familiar
with it start trying to add the bass line.
The chorus is a simple strum, be sure to hit the bass note then add the strums.
There is also a simple little riff at the end of the chorus.
I've added the lyrics at the bottom with a note of where each
part is played. Good luck, this is a lovely little song!
Playing tip : When played properly, your 3rd finger (ring finger) rests on the G (6th
string 3rd fret) for all the picked parts.

FIG 1
I met my darling last night
I'd never seen him before
FIG 2
He put his warm hand in mine
There'll be no crying no more
FIG 1
And in a flutter of bees
And in a whisper of trees
FIG 2
I'd never seen him before
There'll be no crying no more
(Chorus strummed chords)
There is no rest for the wicked
No blues like before
A spell's been lifted
(Chorus outro riff)
Just like a baby born once more
FIG 1
On either side of the street
The flowers bloom where we meet
FIG 3
I'd never seen him before
There'll be no crying no more
FIG 4
There'll be no crying no more
FIG 4
There'll be no crying no more
