[Verse 1]
G5
I've been shot up and shipped out
G5
I've been turned away and turned around
G5
Nobody to call my own
G5
In the mean old world alone
C5
Many many nights I cried
C5
Somebody was on my side
G5
Down in my soul I knew
              C5      G5
Some way that I'd get through

[Chorus]
D5
Looking back now I see
C5                         G5
Somebody was watching over me
G5
(Somebody was watching)
G5
(Somebody was watching)

[Verse 2]
G5
I've been locked up and locked down
G5
I've been used and abused
G5
Didn't know if I was uptown or downtown
G5
You know my life was so confused
C5
Living in a state of depression
C5
Something saved me from my obsession
G5
My strength was put to the test

My weakness put to rest

[Chorus]
D5
Looking back now I see
C5                         G5
Somebody was watching over me
G5
(Somebody was watching)
G5
(Somebody was watching)
C5
Somebody was watching
                           G5
Somebody was watching over me
G5
(Somebody was watching)
G5
(Somebody was watching)
C5
Somebody was watching
                           G5
Somebody was watching over me
G5
(Somebody was watching)
G5
(Somebody was watching)

[Post-Chorus]
       D5                          C5                 G5
Now my bad times is better than my good times used to be
G5
(Somebody was watching)
G5
(Somebody was watching)

(Somebody was watching)
G5          C5
There was a time
    G5       C5
When peace I could not find
G5
Nothing to call my own
G5
No job, no car, no home
C5
Staying in a one-room shack
C5
All I had were the clothes on my back
G5          C5
Each day my only plan
G5
Have a bottle in my hand

[Chorus]
D5
Looking back now I see
C5                         G5
Somebody was watching over me
