Type O Negative era una banda de Brooklyn, Nueva York. Son conocidos como unos de los primeros grupos en alcanzar el éxito en el estilo Gothic/Doom Metal, compuesto por guitarras distorsionadas, órganos frecuentes y el uso del teclado, y voces de Peter Steele. Además, la banda muestra una variedad de influencias no góticas. También son conocidos por su autodespectivo sentido del humor, a pesar de las letras dramáticas que enfatizan en temas como sexo, romance, depresión y la muerte.

Tuning:- C# G# C# F# A# D# (Drop C#) all chords written as if in standard tuning
Chorus: G#5C5A#5A5 Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Verse 1: C5D#5F5 In the dark bathed in Cathode ray blue Miss Red Hook of 1922 Weeping silently for the pain of others Every night a tearful rosary A victim of the curse of empathy Her reward for compassion is to suffer
Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Verse 2: My shortcomings I know caused her grief Still she loves me. This i can’t believe! Responding not with anger but a prayer Heaven’s just Southwest of Cobble Hill True, I am the son of an Angel Maternally, not one woman compares
Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Bridge: D5C5A#5A5 If you fall, I will catch you When you’re lost, I’ll be there soon Far away, but of course near When you’re sad, I’m always here
Verse 3: Thank you for saving me from my self Your compassion became its own hell Unequally beautiful inside and out Without a doubt
Chorus: Nettie, no need to cry Let Me wipe those teardrops from your eyes
In the verse when you play D#5 F5 you can play it either with the second string power chords at the sixth and eighth frets, or with the first string (drop D style) power chords on the first and third frets. I like to alternate between the two every other time, starting with the low chords. At the end of every third line in each verse there is a little break where there is guitar but no lyrics, and you want this break to line up with the higher D#5 and F5. Listen to the song to hear what I mean.
I wrote out the chords as if everything was done in standard tuning because the positions of those chords is more recognizable. If you want to get picky, these are the chords you are actually playing:
