Hootie & the Blowfish – Let Her Cry  (Album: Cracked Rear View (1994))

[ G    | D    | C   | G   ]        (repeat Chords for verse)

She sits alone by a lamppost

Trying to find a thought that’s escaped her mind

 She says Dad’s the one I love the most

 But Stipe’s not far behind

She never let’s 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

  Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away…. And just…

      C                           G

Let her cry      If the tears fall down like rain

         C                       Em    G       D

Let her sing        If it eases all her pain

       C                           G

Let her go           Let her walk right out on me

             D                                                     C           G

And if the sun comes up tomorrow         Let her be, let her be

This morning I woke up alone… Found a note standing by the phone

Saying, “Baby, maybe I’ll be back someday”

 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 & felt sorry for myself, Saying…

(chorus)

She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

  She went in the back to get high…And I sat down on my couch & cried

  Yelling “Oh mama, please help me, Won’t you hold my hand” And…
