               G   Em
I'm real real gone
C      D               G     Em
I got hit by a bow and arrow
C           D                G     Em C D
You got me down to the very marrow
                   G   C G D
And I'm real real gone

Real real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help?
And I'm real real gone

Am           D G        D/F#        Em
Some people say you can make it on your own
Am          D               G
Oh you can make it if you try
Am      D        G           D/F#      Em
I know better now you can't stand up alone
A                 D
Oh baby that is why

I'm real real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know I need your help?
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone

And Sam Cooke is on the radio
And the night is filled with space
And your fingertips touch my face
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone

I'm real gone
Oh Lord I got hit by a bow and arrow
Got me down to the very marrow
You're a friend of mine
And I'm real real gone

And I'm real real gone
I'm real gone
Wilson Pickett said:
"In the midnight hour
That's when my love comes tumbling down"
Solomon Burke said:

James Brown said:
"When you're tired of what you got, try me"

"There's a rainbow in my soul"
