On the video, Clapton uses a particular kind of strumming to give a
percussive effect.
He flicks his wrist striking the strings with the side of his finsgernails.

Many a bond is broken.

See the water lie on the ground

With your dreams de par ted?
(REPEAT FIRST PATTERN)
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the brokenhearted.
So you've gone beyond your means
Where every wound is opened.
Your best laid plans are out of reach
And all your fears unspoken.
Lord, how will you get through this night
With your dreams departed?
And who alone will comfort you?
Only the brokenhearted.

Lord I would rather be alone.
I press my fingers to the wood
To tell you of my dreaming.
To sing you songs from olden time
to keep the lovelight gleaming.
'Cause there's a place where we can go
Where we will not be parted.
And who alone will enter there?
Only the brokenhearted.
Only the broken, brokenhearted.
Only the broken, brokenhearted.
Only the broken, brokenhearted.
Only the broken, brokenhearted.
Only the broken, brokenhearted.
