D

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

                      C
His dog was run over, his wife up and left him
G                                      D
And after that he got sacked from his job
                                             C
Lost his arm in the war, was laughed at by a whore
G                               D
Ah, but sill not a sniffle or sob
         A             G             D
His novel was refused, his movie was panned
            C                      D
And his big Broadway show was a flop
                       C
He got sent off to jail;  you guessed it, no bail
G                                  D
Oh, but still not a dribble or 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                                   D
But not once did a tear stain his face
            A           G           D
Doctors were called in, scientists, too
            C                             D
Theologians were last and 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
                                             C
He made a lot of friends and played a lot of chess
G                                 D
And he wept every time it would rain
              A           G                   D
Once it rained forty days and it rained forty nights
             C                                    D
And he cried and he cried and he 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                                   D
Not only that, but he rejoined his arm
                                              C
Down below, all the critics, they loot it all back
G                                 D
Cancer robbed the whore of her charm
           A                     G                      D
His ex-wife died of stretch marks, his ex-employer went broke
               C                     D
The theologians were finally found out
                        C
Right down to the ground, that old jail house burned down
G                                  D
The earth suffered perpetual drought
