Shine A Light In The Dark

Biography:

10cc are an English art rock and pop band. Initially comprised of four musicians - Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme - who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the "10cc" name in 1972 - two strong song-writing teams, injected sharp wit to lyrically-dextrous songs.
Stewart and Gouldman were straight pop-song-writers, who created the band’s most accessible songs; Godley and Creme were the experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic writing.

[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
A
I've been lost before and I had to pay
D A
It was never easy but I found a way
A
Well the journey was hard and the road was tough
D A
There were times when I cried lord I've had enough

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7 A
Don't you leave me stranded now I need a friend
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7
You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless

[Chorus]
G D
Show me mercy when I'm helpless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Hold me back when I get reckless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Stand me up if I get legless
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark

[Verse 2]
A
I've been down and out and I've been fit to drop
D A
But the thought of you wouldn't let me stop
A
Now a man should stand upon his own two feet
D A
Because the taste of failure is a bitter sweet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7 A
I can hear the reaper calling in the wind
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7
You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless

[Chorus]
G D
Show me mercy when I'm helpless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Hold me back when I get reckless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Stand me up if I get legless
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark

[Bridge]
D C
Where were you when the chips were down
G D
I fell apart when I hit the town
D C A
Where were you when I couldn't get arrested
D C
Where were you when the lights went out
G D
I blew a fuse, did you hear me shout
D C B
Where on earth do I look for heavens sake

[Verse 3]
A
There's a brotherhood that I want to see
D A
Gotta take my share of equality
A
There's no harmony in a one man band
D A
Even god almighty needs a helping hand

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7 A
There's no time and I can't fight another day
Am7 A
Please don't desert me now
Am7
You've gotta show me mercy when I'm helpless

[Chorus]
G D
Show me mercy when I'm helpless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Hold me back when I get reckless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Stand me up if I get legless
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Show me mercy when I'm helpless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Hold me back when I get reckless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Stand me up if I get legless
A
Shine a light in the dark
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Show me mercy when I'm helpless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Hold me back when I get reckless
A
Shine a light in the dark
G D
Stand me up if I get legless
