Desde o final da década de 80 e início da década de 90, a banda nova-iorquina Type O Negative escreveu sua história na cena do Metal mundial. Porém, sua origem e formação podem ser resgatadas nos anos anteriores, com a banda chamada Carnivore.
Formada em 1983 por Peter Steele, no Brooklin em Nova Iorque, a banda Carnivore teve apenas cinco anos de carreira e dois trabalhos lançados neste período. O primeiro lançado em 1985 com o mesmo nome da banda e o segundo, intitulado Retaliation, em 1987.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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:
