================================================================== Artist - Tim Buckley Song - Cripples Cry Album - This track wasn't released on any of Buckley's studio albums but a version can found on the bootleg 'Live at the Folklore Center 1967', which is of a January '67 in Greenwich Village. A studio version was definitely recorded around the time of and Hello, and is allegedly sitting in the archives of Herb Cohen, Buckley's then manager. it'll get a proper release some day (although given that Starsailor and Blue Afternoon remain out of print I wouldn't hold your breath!). ================================================================== Tabbed by Benjamin Wilson (benwilson528@hotmail.com) - 9th Feb 08 ================================================================== The whole song uses the same four chords over and over. The basic pattern in the on the root chord seems to be: A e-----------------------| B---------------3-------| G-------------3---3-----| D-----------------------| A------0----------------| E-----------------------| And then I guess pick as suits your style, or listen to the recording to see how it's there. If you have a beautiful voice with a four octave range that will probably add to its performance as well...
I know we're Athrough but I Dstill can't C#mreally beBmlieve that wAe'd fall And though it's Asad I still Dtry to C#mhold back my Bmtears, but stAill I call
What can I Asay or Bmdo for C#myou? What would you Bmlike me to Abe?
Shall I Alaugh, dance Bm or C#msing for you? Cripples Bmcry, what can AI do?
Yes I Aknow that you Ddon't want C#mme anyBmmore I carry Atears, Dincense C#mand fine Bmwines
What do Ayou do?

But pleaAse believe that your love will grow with time or with need A D C#m Bm And thougAh you say that you'll never change your mind, I'll be here
And I'm a Dtorn down C#mchild for Bmyou I build my Acastles in the sky
And I've the Dcolours C#mof a Bmclown In the Ateardrops from my eyes
Yes I Aknow that you Ddon't want C#mme anyBmmore I carry Atears, Dincense C#mand fine Bmwines
What do Ayou do?

And yes I Aknow that you Ddon't need C#mme anyBmmore I carry Atears, Dincense C#mand fine Bmwines
What do Ayou do?
================================================================== NB - I can't be 100% sure on the lyrics cos the bootleg's kind of poor quality. I think mostly right though. ==================================================================
