@SONG: * HOLD MY HAND

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
