Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover by James Bartholomew 

goosebumps first 7 seconds. the melody is so iconic, you instantly recognize it

You were my sun, you were my earth But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no So you took a chance, made other plans But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone Girl, I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy The bridges were burned Now it's your turn, to cry Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river You know that they say that somethings are better left unsaid It wasn't like you only talked to him And you know it (Don't act like you don't know it) All of these things people told me Keep messing with my head Should've picked honesty Then you may not have blown it You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? You told me you love me Why did you leave me all alone Now you tell me you need me When you call me on the phone Girl, I refuse You must have me confused with some other guy The bridges were burned Now it's your turn, to cry Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river Oh! The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh! The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh! The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving Oh! The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving You don't have to say, what you did I already know, I found out from him Now there's just no chance With you and me There'll never be Don't it make you sad about it? Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river (you can go on and just) Cry me a river Cry me a river (baby, go on and just) Cry me a river (go on and just) Cry me a river (oh, baby, cry) Cry me a river (I don't wanna cry no more) Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me) Cry me a river (cry me, cry me)

Beautiful cover, great song choice!

this is so perfect and smooth i can see the lyrics beetween the strings...

I honestly wish I could download this in MP3 form… it’s amazing! So clean and melodic!

1.25 x speed this is the best thing.ever. That's my favorite song from him !! i was right when i said you're a genius.

Good fingerstyle arrangement and fine playing! The punchy rhythm, nice melodic turns and that great discord make this a winner for me! Sunny smiles from Spain, James, Clive Davies

I was just watching Reptile movie, and instantly remembered this Epic timeless song ❤

James is my favourite guitar player to watch his fingerstyle is so great and nice to listen to !

One of the best music from my chilhood. The intro is just sick. Stunning.

This Arrangement is not only better than the Real Composition but also is the Best of all Arrangements. Liked it a lot.. literally made me Cry the first time I heard it. Great Job.. ☺😍😇

Никогда не писал коменты к видосам, но чувак, это рай для ушей!!

Outstanding!

your covers made me play the guitar again after a year of not playing. thank you 😘

I listen to this in my spare time thankyou, you played it beautifully ❤️

Si que tocas bien, eres una inspiración, quisiera poder tocar como tu, poco a poco lo lograre

this is the best thing.ever.

@alerrodramm My bedroom... haha, I don't study guitar formally, I study Audio Engineering :)

James, I hope this message reaches you. I live/work in NZ after moving from England 2 years ago. I work for a company that operates a number of venues and today I heard this song being played fingerstyle over the speaker while sat on my break.. I asked to check who the artist was and sure enough it was "James Bartholomew". Did you know your music is being played in venues on the other side of the world? How crazy is that!?

You should make a tutorial video on this

Amazing!! 😍 I have chills run down my back ever time I watch!

Holy Shit! 🤯 Your finger work is fuckin AMAZING! All you need is j.t. singing over this and it'd be gold!! 🤘🏻😎
