My most recent attempt at a song using CCR Who'll Stop The Rain as the tune, mine is called Who'll Stop The Pain. Its for a free gig the Police band I am in is doing to promote Domestic Violence awareness. 1st verse about where we come from, second personalising the issue, the 3rd about the way ahead and groundswell of public feeling.
Verse
1. Long as I remember pain's been raining down
Shrouds of hates been pourin' Our women on the ground
Good men through the ages
Believed they knew the way
and we wonder, still we wonder
who'll stop the pain
2. I was taken down the Courthouse, I was told I’d done her wrong
I hoped that I was able, to turn my life around
I changed my plans, With new ideals
I wrapped her in My arms
It’s not ok, it’s not ok
I can stop the pain
3. We heard the people saying, What was done was wrong
the people spoke out louder Saying,Look it’s not ok
Now it’s love that’s spreading
Spreading all around
It’s no wonder, It’s no wonder
We’ll stop the pain...
oops not sure what happened to the formatting or the chord symbols above, plus 'Its ok ' is the tv advert catchphrase used about domestic violence
