Biografía:
Aclamado desde la pequeña ciudad de Moscow , Idaho, las canciones de Josh Ritter son un extraño regalo de belleza natural, intuitiva. Nacido a finales de los 70 de padres neurocientíficos, Josh se compró su primera guitarra en el K-Mart tras escuchar el clásico de Bob Dylan y Johnny Cash “Girl From the North Country”. Comenzó en el Oberlin College con la intención de seguir los pasos de sus padres científicos, pero en su lugar se descubrió componiendo la música de artistas como Gillian Welch, Townes Van Zandt y Leonard Cohen.

CRY SOFTLY
Josh Ritter
This is an as-yet unreleased song Josh played in St. Louis at the Pageant.
One or two of the lyrics are just guesses at this point. Believe he even mentioned
it is a work in progress. Took this from a recording at Infinity Hall in Norwalk, CT
from June 2014.

[Intro]
C/G F G C/G
[Verse]
C/G F
Sometimes happy ever after ain’t always ever after
G C/G
You promised me forever then you ran off with a dancer
C/G
Now it’s good to see you back here
F
But I’m on to greener pastures
G C/G
And if you gotta cry, cry softly
[Chorus]
F C/G
Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G
Your tears are unsightly
F C/G
There’s the front door, thanks awfully
G C/G
If you gotta cry, cry softly
[Verse]
C/G
This ain’t the first time that you left me
F
Remember Reno, Taos and Tempe
G C/G
Remember Carlsbad, El Paso and that second time in Tempe
C/G
Yeah you’ve pulled a lot of fast ones
F
But this last one is your last one
G C/G
And if you’ve gotta cry, cry softly
[Chorus]
F C/G
Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G
Your tears are unsightly
F C/G
There’s the front door, thanks awfully
G C/G
If you gotta cry, cry softly
[Break]
F C/G G C/G F C/G G C/G
[Verse]
C/G
Well heaven needs a hell
F
Liberty a bell
G
Up 'til now I thought that feeling bad
C/G
Meant things were going well
C/G
Now things are going great
F
But honey babe it's late
G C/G
So if you gotta cry, cry softly
[Verse]
C/G
I admit since you’ve been gone
F
I’ve done my share of moving on
G
There’s been a lot of warm embracing
C/G
Whiskey chasing vodka blondes
C/G
Oh honey babe I'm beat
F
And I need a little sleep
G C/G
And if you gotta cry, cry softly
[Chorus]
F C/G
Cry softly, real quietly
G C/G
Your tears are unsightly
F C/G
There’s the front door, thanks awfully
G
And if you gotta cry, cry
G
If you gotta cry, cry
G C/G
If you gotta cry, cry softly
