HELP ME UP by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings Transcribed by Brian Davies (davies@ils.nwu.edu) [Em] [G] [Em] [G] (If that Em sounds a little too dark to you, try 022x00 (E5?)) [Em] Are you going to help me [G] or will you let me down? [Em] I'm looking for a true love [G] but am I lost or found? [Em] And will we cry in passion [G] or will we cry in pain? [Em] And will our lonely teardrops [G] fill the world with rain? Help me [Em] up, [Bm] don't you let me [C] down. [Am] I'm gonna [G] wake up in [C] heaven, not the [Am] cold, cold [G] ground. [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] Can't you hear the lovers [G] crying in the night? [Em] They spend their whole lives trying; [G] still can't get it right. [Em] I don't know where we're going [G] but I guess we'll start [Em] And just to show that I mean it, [G] baby here's my heart. Chorus (Walk it up hard on the bass: G G B B C C D D) [D] Living on my [D#dim] feelings, [Em] feelings all I [G] know. [C] Baby once we [D] touch it, we'll [C] never let it [G] go. (I'm guessing on the D#dim —— he pulls something weird out of his hat, and this sounds decent.)
