Subject: ADD: "Help Me Up" by Eric Clapton

I tabbed out the solo over the introduction; other than that, this is
identical to my original CRD version.  I've included the entire thing, so
that the OLGA admins can simply replace that file with this one...

[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] 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] And just to show that I mean it, [G] baby here's my heart.

Help Me Up - Eric Clapton - [Soundtrack: RUSH]
Are you going to help me or will you let me down? I'm looking for a true love but am I lost or found? And will we cry in passion or will we cry in pain? And will our lonely teardrops fill the world with rain? Help me up, don't you let me down. I'm gonna wake up in heaven, not the cold, cold ground. Can't you hear the lovers crying in the night? They spend their whole lives trying; still can't get it right. I don't know where we're going but I guess we'll start And just to show that I mean it, baby here's my heart. Chorus Living on my feelings, feelings all I know. Baby once we touch it, we'll never let it go. First Verse Chorus Chorus Soundtrack, Movie: "RUSH"

Eric Clapton- Wonderful tonight (with lyrics)
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight." We go to a party and everyone turns to see This beautiful lady that's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight." I feel wonderful because I see The love light in your eyes. And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize how much I love you. It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed. And then I tell her, as I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

[Lyrics] Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton
Edit: after viewing a lot of comments saying it's because he lost his 5 year old son, it's actually his 4 YEAR OLD son, just to clear that up "Then, on 20 March 1991, Conor, who was four years of age, died when he fell from the 53rd-story window of his mother's friend's New York City apartment, landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. Clapton's grief was expressed in the song "Tears in Heaven"," A nice relaxing song with lyrics ~Peach Enjoy, rate, comment~

Eric Clapton Cover - Tears In Heaven
Eric Clapton Cover - Tears In Heaven I like the melody and lyrics of this song written by a father for a lost son. The smooth transition of chords and bass line make the song suitable for acoustic fingerstyle guitar playing. "Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell out of a 53rd-story window in his mother's friend's New York City apartment, on March 20, 1991. Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident was visibly distraught for months afterwards. This song is one of Clapton's most successful, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the US The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the American adult contemporary chart in 1992. Will Jennings, who worked with Clapton on the song, was reluctant at first to help him with such a personal song. The song was initially featured on the soundtrack to the film Rush, and it won three Grammy awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1993. It was also included on Clapton's Grammy award-winning album, Unplugged. It is #353 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs. "Eric and I were engaged to write a song for a movie called Rush. We wrote a song called 'Help Me Up' for the end of the movie... then Eric saw another place in the movie for a song and he said to me, 'I want to write a song about my boy.' Eric had the first verse of the song written, which ...
