Intro
D E F#m9 D
Didn’t I hear you cry this morning, didn’t I feel you weep
D E F#m9 D
Teardrops flowin’ down on me, like rivers in my sleep
D E F#m9 D
And in my dream of laughter, you came creepin’ with your fears
D E F#m9 D
Telling me your sorrows, in the tracings of your tears
F#m E D E
That’s a strange way to tell me you love me
F#m E D E
When your sorrow is all I can see
F#m E D E D
If you just want to cry to somebody, don’t cry to me, no
D E F#m9 D
Don’t cry to me, no
D E F#m9 D
Didn’t I hear your voice this morning, didn’t you call my name
D E F#m9 D
I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain
D E F#m9 D
And in your dream of darkness, I came shinin’ like the sun
D E F#m9 D
Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes
CHORUS
D E F#m9 D
Didn’t you feel alone this morning, didn’t you need a friend
D E F#m9 D
And in your darkest hour, you came runnin’ back again
CHORUS
FLUTE SOLO
REFRAIN CHORUS
(Note: Ordinarily, only the top four strings are played throughout the song. The
5th and 6th strings, C# and E, are not played and left silent. And, in all chord
forms throughout the song, the F# string is played, but not fretted, leaving the
open F# string to pedal throughout the song. On the D for example, the first
finger is placed on the first fret of the high G# string, the little finger on the
third fret of the D# string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the B
string. The F# is left open. For the E chord that follows, just move the entire
chord form up two frets, which should leave the index finger on the third fret.
The F#m9 is played like an Am, but the middle finger is lifted to leave an open G.)
