Somebody Was Watching Over Me chords by Robert Plant

🎸 Intro:

G



🎸 Verse 1:
           G
I've been shot up and shipped out

I've been turned away and turned around

Nobody to call my own

In this mean old world alone
 C
Many many nights I cried

Somebody was all the time
 G
Down in my soul I knew

Some way I'd get through
🎸 Chorus:
 D
Looking back now I see
 C                         G
Somebody was watching over me

🎸 Verse 2:
           G
I've been locked up and locked out

I've been used and abused

Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown

You know my life was so confused
      C
I've lived in a state of depression

Something saved me from my obsession
G
My strength was put to test

My weakness put to rest

🎸 Chorus:
  D
Looking back now I see
 C                          G
Somebody was watching over me
Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
C
Somebody was watching
                           G
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
C
Somebody was watching
                           G
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
        D                             C                G
Now my bad times are better than my good times used to be

🎸 Instrumental:

🎸 Verse 3:
G
There was a time

When peace I could not find

Nothing to call my own

No job, no car, no home
 C
Slaving in a one-room shack

All I had were the clothes on my back
 G
Each day my only plan

Have a bottle in my hand

🎸 Chorus:
 D
Looking back now I see
C                         G
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
                           G
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching

Somebody was watching
C
Somebody was watching
                           G
Somebody was watching over me

Somebody was watching

Now my bad times are better than my good times used to be
