Linda Ronstadt Don't Cry Now written by J.D. Souther
E A E
If you've ever been taken for money
E A E
If you've ever gone down with your pride
C#m E
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
A B E B
You know that the river is wide
E A E
Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
A E
With a picture in both of his hands
C#m E
It's like part of your life is all ready begun
A B E B
With something you don't understand
E B C#m B A B E B
Don't cry now oh don't cry now
E B C#m B A B E B
Don't cry now no no don't cry
E A E
When you're lying alone in the night time
A E
And your lonliness turns into fear
C#m E
WIth the words of your memory fading and fading
A B E B
You drowned in a river of tears
E A E
If you never thought much about freedom
A E
You might find yourself caught in some door
C#m E
If somebody you love more than your whole world
A B E B
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for
E B C#m B A B E B
Don't cry now oh don't cry now
E B C#m B A B E
Don't cry now no no don't cry
