Man Who Couldnt Cry

 D

                      C
 There once was a man who just 
couldn't cry
 G                                 
 He hadn't cried for years and for 
   D
years
 Napalmed babies and the movie "Love
 C
 Story"
 G                             
 For instance could not produce 
    D
tears
           A           G      
 As a child he had cried as all 
           D
children will
              C                    
 Then at some point his tear ducts 
      D
ran dry
                    C
 He grew to be a man, it all hit the
 fan
 G                                 
 Things got bad, but he couldn't 
 D
cry

                       C
 His dog was run over, his wife up 
and left him
 G                                 
 And after that he got sacked from 
     D
his job
 Lost his arm in the war, was 
                C
laughed at by a whore
 G                               D
 Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob
          A             G         
 His novel was refused, his movie 
    D
was panned

             C                  
 And his big Broadway show was a 
    D
flop
                        C
 He got sent off to jail;  you 
guessed it, no bail
 G                                 
 Oh, but still not a dribble or 
 D
drop

                        C
 In jail he was beaten, bullied and 
buggered
 G                            D
 And made to make license plates
                                C
 Water and bread was all he was fed
 G                                 
 But not once did a tear stain his 
  D
face
             A           G        
 Doctors were called in, 
   D
scientists, too
             C            
 Theologians were last and 
                 D
practically least
                            C
 They all agreed sure enough; this 
was sure no cream puff
 G                              D
 But in fact an insensitive beast

                          C
 He was removed from jail and placed
 in a place
 G                               D
 For the insensitive and the insane
 He made a lot of friends and played
          C
 a lot of chess
 G                              
 And he wept every time it would 
   D
rain
               A           G      
 Once it rained forty days and it 
             D
rained forty nights
              C                  
 And he cried and he cried and he 
                  D
cried and he cried
                       C
 On the forty-first day, he passed 
away
 G                         D
 He just dehydrated and died

                           C
 Well, he went up to heaven, located
 his dog
 G                                 
 Not only that, but he rejoined his
  D
 arm
 Down below, all the critics, they 
            C
loot it all back
 G                             
 Cancer robbed the whore of her 
    D
charm
            A                     
 His ex-wife died of stretch 
G                      D
marks, his ex-employer went broke
                C                  
 The theologians were finally found
   D
 out
                         C
 Right down to the ground, that old 
jail house burned down
 G                           
 The earth suffered perpetual 
       D
drought
