Talk to me softly there’s something inyour eyes
Am Dm G C AmDon’t hang your head in sorrow and please don’t cry
I Know how you fell inside I’ve I’ve been there before
Am Dm G C AmSomthin’ chengin’ inside you and don’t you know
F G
Don't you cry tonight
AmI still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
F G AmDon't you cry tonight
CThere's a heaven above you baby
And Don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper and give me a sigh
Am Dm G C AmGive me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Am Dm G C AmDon’t you take it so hard now and please don’t take it so bad
I’ll stille be thinking of you and the times we had baby
Don't you cry tonight
AmI still love you baby
F GDon't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
CThere's a heaven above you baby
F G AmAnd Don't you cry tonight
The song, as explained by Axl Rose, leader of the band, was written after a girl told him not to cry after he had said goodbye.
