Biography:
Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.
Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

Artist - Tim Buckley
Song - Cripples Cry
Album - This track wasn't released on any of Buckley's studio albums but a version can
found on the bootleg 'Live at the Folklore Center 1967', which is of a January '67
in Greenwich Village. A studio version was definitely recorded around the time of
and Hello, and is allegedly sitting in the archives of Herb Cohen, Buckley's then manager.
it'll get a proper release some day (although given that Starsailor and Blue Afternoon
remain out of print I wouldn't hold your breath!).

The whole song uses the same four chords over and over. The basic pattern in the
on the root chord seems to be:
A
e-----------------------|
B---------------3-------|
G-------------3---3-----|
D-----------------------|
A------0----------------|
E-----------------------|
And then I guess pick as suits your style, or listen to the recording to see how it's
there. If you have a beautiful voice with a four octave range that will probably add
to its performance as well...
A D C#m Bm A
I know we're through but I still can't really believe that we'd fall
A D C#m Bm A
And though it's sad I still try to hold back my tears, but still I call
A Bm C#m
What can I say or do for you?
Bm A
What would you like me to be?
A Bm C#m
Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
Bm A
Cripples cry, what can I do?
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m Bm
A
But please believe that your love will grow with time or with need
A D C#m Bm
A
And though you say that you'll never change your mind, I'll be here
D C#m Bm
And I'm a torn down child for you
A
I build my castles in the sky
D C#m Bm
And I've the colours of a clown
A
In the teardrops from my eyes
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
I'm on the other side of fear
Bm A
Through my pain I've learned to love
A D C#m
And if my actions aren't too clear
Bm A
remember clowns only cry
A D C#m Bm
Yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
Your dark secrets torture my mind
Bm A
Your life of love turns me cold
A D C#m
And your first lovers you've left behind
Bm A
Or do you wish to return?
A D C#m Bm
Oh yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?
A D C#m
What can I say or do for you?
Bm A
What would you like me to be?
A Bm C#m
Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
Bm A
Cripples cry, what can I do?
A D C#m Bm
And yes I know that you don't need me anymore
A D C#m Bm
I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A
What do you do?

NB - I can't be 100% sure on the lyrics cos the bootleg's kind of poor quality. I think
mostly right though.
