Joe Cocker - Let The Healing Begin

let the healing begin

intro : Am F

verse i

Am F
i’ve kept it inside much too long
Am
there’s no relief
Am F
carried it around just like a stone
Am
too heavy for me
F
i have paid the price for standing
G Em Dm
on the outside looking in
F G Am
it’s time to let the healing begin

verse ii

Am F
a boy is strung out , he’s going through hell
Am
his mother weeps
Am F
his spirit is broken and there’s nothing left
Am
just a terrible need
F G F
and the days are marked , by the heaviness of the heart
Em Dm F G Am
it never mends , until the healing begins

chorus

C G C
and the tension prowls the street like an animal
C G C
the people stay behind their locks and chains
F
it’s a shame
G Am Em Dm
when so many are trying their best to live as one
F G Am
and the smoke from the fires covers up the sun

verse iii

Am F
a young girl is lying in the dirt
Am
her dreams ended there
Am F
caught in the crossfire on somebody’s turf
Am
hatred in the air

F G
it’ a voice that never sings
F G
a winter without the spring
Em/Dm
it never ends

F G Am Em Dm
it’s time to let the healing begin
F G Am
it’s time to let the healing begin

fade with Am F
