Tuning CFCCGD
Chord Sequences:
(Note: Experiment with minor 11 (no 5th) chords rather than simple minor or minor 7ths
in the below sequence.
Take the minor 7 flat 6th with pinch of salt..but it would be easy to do in dadgad
(which I tried as well as the proper tuning).
Also could try (rather than m7b6 chord in sequence 2), an Esus9 chord..I am not too
sure of all the subtle tonalities here
but its essentially Em for a few bars. )
Sequence 1:
Now you say you love me
[Cm]But you cry the whole night through
[Fm]You can cry me a rive[Gm]r
............Cm........Fm Gm
Oh yes you're going' to cry me a river
Cos I cried a river over you.[Cm][Fm][Gm]
[Gm] [Cm]
repeat seq 1 for:
Now you say you're sorry for being so untrue
You may cry a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Yes I did child, yes I did my child.
Sequence 2:
You drove me nearly out of my head
[Em7b6]You stood by and never shed a tear
[Em7b6]But I remember every word that was said
[Em7]......Oh yes, I remember, never fear.
[Dm7]
repeat seq 1 for:
You may cry me a river, c'mon now
Cry me a river
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you oh how I cried.
repeat seq 2 for:
You nearly drove me out of my own sweet head
You stood by, you never shed a tear for me.
I remember every cruel word, everything that was said
Yes I remember, never you fear.
repeat seq1 for:
You may cry me a river
I cried a river for you
Yes I cried a river for you.
Turn back the tide of life, I cried, salty water running down
I cried I love you
I cried I love you
I cried, I cried.
and continue seq 1 (Cm to Fm to Gm sequences) where it fits for :
You may cry, oh, she may cry now, a river of tears
A river of tears for you
You may cry now, she may cry, oh, she may cry now
You may cry, oh, she may cry now a river of tears
A river of tears for you.
I cry you can cry me a river
Lord loves a cheerful giver
C'mon and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now and cry me a river of tears
C'mon now, c'mon down and cry me a river.
