@SONG: * HOLD MY HAND
(tabbed by Paul Hutchinson )
Intro:
|Bsus2 E | x4
Bsus2 E Bsus2 E
With a little love and some tenderness
Bsus2 E Bsus2 E etc
We’ll walk upon the water, we’ll rise above the mist
With a little peace, and some harmony
We’ll take the world together, we’ll take them by the hand
F# E* B
Cause, I got a hand for you, oh
F# E* B
Cause, I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was heavy, your eyes were red, no comb had touched your hair
I said «Get up, and let me see you smile
We’ll take a walk together, walk the road a while»
Cause, I got a hand for you — I got a hand for you
I wanna run with you — won’t you let me run with you
B E* F#
Hold my hand — want you to hold my hand
B E* F#
Hold my hand — I’ll take you to a place where you can be
B E* F#
Hold my hand — anything you wanna be, because
E*
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
«Don’t wanna be part of your problems, don’t wanna be part of your crowd, no»
Cause, I gotta hand for you — I got a hand for you
I wanna run with you — won’t you let me run with you
Hold my hand — want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand — I will take you to the promised land
Hold my hand — Maybe we can’t change the world but,
I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
Solo: |Bsus2 E | x4
|F# E* |B | x2
Hold my hand — want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand — I’ll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand — anything you wanna be cause
I, no lo lo, oh ho (!?)
Hold my hand — want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand — I will take you to the promised land
Hold my hand — Maybe we can’t change the world but,
I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
