I Hold On

     Am
It's just an old beat up truck
      F
Some say that I should trade up
     C
Now that I got some jangle in my 
pocket
    Am
But what they don't understand
    F
Is it's the miles that make a man
           C
I wouldn't trade that thing in for a
 rocket
     Am
What they don't know's my dad and me
     F
We drove her out to Tennessee
     C                           G
And she's still here and now he's 
gone
   Am  F   C
So I hold on


[Verse 2]

     Am
It's just an old beat up box
     F
It's rusty strings across the top
     C                             
It probably don't look like much to
 C
 you
           Am
But these dents and scratches in the
 wood
      F
Yeah that's what makes it sound so 
good
C                          C
   To me it's better than brand new
    Am
You see this here flat top guitar
     F
Has had my back in a million bars
C                         G
   Singing every country song
   Am  F   C  C
So I hold on

[Chorus]

        F          C
To the things, I believe in
     G                    Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
         F
To the things I can count on
    C              G
To keep me going strong
             Am  F  C
Yeah I hold on
       Am  F  C
I hold on
            F
Like the stripes to the flag
        C          G
Like a boy to his dad
         F           C          
I can't change who I am, right or 
   G
wrong
           Am  F  C
So I hold on


[Solo]

Am  F  C


[Verse 3]

 Am
Baby lookin' at you right now
  F
There ain't never been no doubt
C                     C
   Without you I'd be nothing
   Am                      F
So if you ever worry about, me 
walkin' out
C
   Yeah let me tell you something
Am   F  C

Am  F   C

Am  F   C

[Chorus]

         F           C
To the things, I believe in
    G                      Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
         F
To the things I can count on
    C              G
To keep me going strong
        F         C
To the things, I believe in
    G                       Am
My faith, your love, our freedom
         F
To the things I can count on
    C               G
To keep me going strong
             Am F C
