Subject: Man Holding on to a Woman Letting Go by Ty Herndon

I play this in D.  I think that is where it is on the album.There is a
lot of really nice sounding fiddle work on this song.  
                                                        D              
       A                D 
Two young lover's with their bodies on fire.
D                           G               A
Trying to swim that river of desire
                                                        G              
          A                     Bm
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes
                                                        D              
     A                   D
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go

                                                                       
                                      D                              A 
                D
There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town
                                                        D             
G                     A
Swimming in a memory that he can't drown
                                                        G              
       A                 Bm
And it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home
                                                        D              
     A                  D
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go

(Bridge)

                                                        A              
  G         D          A
His heart is telling him to hold on for dear life
                                                        A           G  
             D                     Bm
Deep down he knows she's letting go for good this time


                                                         D             
   A                         D
There's a father walking his daughter down the isle
D                                 G              A
Fighting back tears and forcing a smile
G                        A                 Bm
For 22 years he's watched her grow
                                                        D

        A              D
In a Hill Valley home there's a feeble old man
D                                  G              A
And he's holding on to a fragile old hand
                                                         G             
      A              Bm
And the angels are coming to carry her home
                                                        D

It's a man holding on to a woman letting go

        G           D          A
His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life
                                                        A          G   
            D                     Bm
Deep down he knows she's letting go for good this time


D                         A              D
Two young lovers with their bodies on fire
D                  G             A
Trying to swim that river of desire
                                                         G             
          A                     Bm
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes
                                                         D             
A                  D

                        A            D
It's a man holding on to a woman.....a woman letting go
