Johnny Johnson And The Bandwagon — Breakin Down The Walls Of Heartache

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

From the album "Direction", released in 1968. Also covered by Dexys Midnight Runners as a B-side for Geno
(Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, 1979) and Bram Tchaikovsky.

This was recently on the Rocketman (2019) soundtrack, sung by Jason Pennycooke and Alexia Khadime.
They did such a lovely job of it that I wanted to take a shot at it. Enjoy!

Chip-chipping at the walls of heartache

Calling out your name

Echoing the pain of heartbreak

And your face is there before me

Is written on the walls of sorrow, oh yeah!
