@SONG: * HOLD MY HAND

(tabbed by Paul Hutchinson <u9343164@qub.ac.uk>)



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
