Timothy Charles Buckley III (14 de febrero de 1947 – 29 de junio de 1975) fue un músico estadounidense de rock de vanguardia, con influencias de jazz, psicodelia, funk y soul. Su carrera fue corta, entre finales de los 60 y los primeros 70.
La voz de Buckley llegaba a abarcar tres octavas y media. Su talento con la voz está patente en álbumes como Goodbye and Hello (1967), Lorca (1970) y Starsailor (1970). Se casó con Mari Guibert, con la que tuvo un hijo, Jeff Buckley, conocido por su voz de cuatro octavas y media, que murió en 1997.

================================================================== 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...
ADC#mBmA I know we're through but I still can't really believe that we'd fall
ADC#mBmA And though it's sad I still try to hold back my tears, but still I call
ABmC#m What can I say or do for you?
BmA What would you like me to be?
ABmC#m Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
BmA Cripples cry, what can I do?
ADC#mBm Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
ADC#mBm I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A What do you do?
ADC#mBm A But please believe that your love will grow with time or with need
ADC#mBm A And though you say that you'll never change your mind, I'll be here
DC#mBm And I'm a torn down child for you
A I build my castles in the sky
DC#mBm And I've the colours of a clown
A In the teardrops from my eyes
ADC#mBm Yes I know that you don't want me anymore
ADC#mBm I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A What do you do?
ADC#m I'm on the other side of fear
BmA Through my pain I've learned to love
ADC#m And if my actions aren't too clear
BmA remember clowns only cry
ADC#mBm Yes I know that you don't need me anymore
ADC#mBm I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A What do you do?
ADC#m Your dark secrets torture my mind
BmA Your life of love turns me cold
ADC#m And your first lovers you've left behind
BmA Or do you wish to return?
ADC#mBm Oh yes I know that you don't need me anymore
ADC#mBm I carry tears, incense and fine wines
A What do you do?
ADC#m What can I say or do for you?
BmA What would you like me to be?
ABmC#m Shall I laugh, dance or sing for you?
BmA Cripples cry, what can I do?
ADC#mBm And yes I know that you don't need me anymore
ADC#mBm 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.
