Thread Name: Chord Req: Across the Great Divide (Joe Cocker)
Subject: Lyr Add: ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE (Joe Cocker)
I've searched everywhere I can think for chords or tab for this song, and found a good dozen 'Great Divide' songs which are NOT this one. Joe's not exactly a folkie, but I do see he's mentioned warmly in a few old discussions. Can anybody help me, please?
ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE - Joe Cocker
Nights are long And the wind is howling down Into the hollows Somewhere deep inside I can hear you calling out Across the great divide
Right or wrong there's a feeling in my heart I try to follow But lately i just hide And my dream of someday crawling out To cross this great divide
Isolation Heart like a drum And the beating is wearing me down Standing at the station But the train never comes Still I'm hanging on Like some old ghost town
Miles to go but I see that one way out Stars in the distance Skies are open wide Waiting for my soul to rise Above this great divide
Desperation Is a dangerous blade In a reckless and trembling hand Sweet salvation Just a thin line away I should cut and run But I'll make my stand
Nights are long But I'll close my eyes again Until tomorrow Slip the bonds and ride Touch the face I long to see Above this great divide We'll be all We long to be Beyound this great divide
