Biography:
The Nixons were founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by singer/guitarist Zac Maloy, guitarist Jesse Davis, bassist Ricky Brooks, and drummer Tye Robison. The group released their debut EP Six in 1992 (after a obscure self-titled album, probably released in 1990) on Dragon Street Records and replaced the original drummer with John Humphrey before releasing Halo in 1994 on Rainmaker label. This album features several songs also included in Foma, their first official full length record, released out in 1995 on MCA Records.

The Nixons - Don't Cry
This is a fairly simple song. I'm not sure of the words exactly, since they aren't printed in the insert.
This song is played tuned down 1/2 step. I just listened to the song to get the tuning right, but I am
sure that it is 1/2 a step down.
The C with a * beside it is a different fingering. If you know how to play Sister then it's the same C
in that song, but for those who don't here's the fingering:
C* - 0 3 2 0 3 0
G - 3 2 0 0 0 3
Em - 0 2 2 0 0 0
C - 0 3 2 0 1 0
D5 - 0 0 0 2 3 0
G Em C
If you ever turn, if you ever stop, and ask the question
G Em C
If you only knew the right question
G Em C
Take a look around, you're the only one still here
G Em C
And the lights went out hours ago
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out, so innocent
D5 C
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
G D5 C
Just try to learn to stay
Verse 2
G Em C
If you ever go to another place just know I'm trying
G Em C
To keep what I can together
G Em C
I'm seeing for a time, I can never fill the empty space that you
G Em C
Keep inside to be more alone
Pre-Chorus
D5 C*
It all started out so innocent
D5 C
Is where we are so wrong?
Chorus
G D5 Em C*
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
G Em C
Just try to learn to stay
Chorus x2
Bridge
D5 C*
I know the clouds are coming (but it's not enough to tell)
D5 C*
The way the sunlight's burning (it brings another day)
D5 C*
Don't go (don't go) no matter what I say
Guitar Solo
Just play G Em C
Pre-Chorus
Chorus x2
Then there's kind of an ending verse
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to see you just one last time before your flight
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to be your fuse on the fourth of July
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to see you just one last time before you go
G D5 Em C*
I wanted to only, let you know
Then play G Em C a few times repeating the words "let you know" every once in a while, and then end on G.
