Joe Cocker - Shelter me

^EThis ain’t no place for losers or the i^Dnnocent of mind, it’s a f^C#ull time job for^D anyone to^E stay alive. E d The streets have satellite boundaries, for the war that’s never won, what a^C# wasteland for^D broken dreams and^E hired guns. ^A

Shelt^Eer me, baby, s^C#mhelter me, when I’m^C sinking down and ^Dlosing ground, ^Eshelter me !

I’ve got to s^Eleep with one eye open, the ^Dother holds my tears, in the ^C#darkness I can ^Dhide my heart but n^Eone of my fears. In the ^Emorning, like a soldier I’ll ^Dapproach the battleground, another day, ^C#another ^Ddollar bill, and the ^Eworld goes round. ^A

Shelt^Eer me, baby, s^C#mhelter me, when I’m^C sinking down and^D losing ground, ^Eshelter me ! ^A Won’t you ^Eshelter me, oh, ^C#mshelter me, when I ^Close control on^D my way home, ^Eshelter me. ^{E Eb D Db}

^CEvery time I tumble down, I wanna pack i^Et up and leave this town^E, ^{Eb D Db} but when I ^Cfinally get the nerve, get the lead out of the shoes, I’m ^Bthanking you, I thank you.

Baby, ^Eshelter me, please ^C#mshelter me, when I’m ^Csinking down and ^Dlosing ground, ^Eshelter me ! ^E Won’t you ^C#mshelter me, when I ^Close control on ^Dmy way home, ^Eshelter me !

Won’t you ^Etellin' me, oh, ^C#mshelter me, ^Cbaby, please ^{D E} shelter me! ^A Stay back and ^Eshelter me, come on and^C#m shelter me, when I ^Close control on ^Dmy way home, s^Ehelter me ! ^A
