John Robert Cocker OBE (20 May 1944 – 22 December 2014), better known as Joe Cocker, was an English rock singer. He was known for his gritty voice, spasmodic body movement in performance, and distinctive versions of popular songs of varying genres.
Cocker's recording of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" reached number one in the UK in 1968. He performed the song live at Woodstock in 1969 and performed the same year at the Isle of Wight Festival

Song: Night Calls Sung By: Joe Cocker Album: Night Calls Author: Jeff Lynne My Name: John Walthier Note: Best played with bar chords, working down the neck of the guitar; I "trill" Esus with E - striking on the up stroke and E on the down stroke.
AmG The night gang started working FEsus Laid a mile of solid road DmC As I watched, I got to thinking EsusAm You ain't never coming home. G I looked out into nowhere FEsus There was nobody at all DmC To get me help, to get me to you EsusAm I'm here making night calls.
CHORUS AC#mDCE Night calls, making night calls AC#mDCE Night calls, making night calls.
AGA I have, I have tried so hard to reach you GA But you must be moving fast DC All my hopes about the future BE They'll just move on into the past. AmG You know it just ain't easy FEsus As the twilight starts to fade DmC Sitting here on a chair I'm wondering EsusAm Thinking of the plans we made.
