G
[Verse 1]
DEmCG
Sixteen days in Bethlehem, peddling dope and drinking wine
DEmCG
Pulling women, making gigs, steering clear and doing fine
DEmCG
I moved on down to Galilee, trying to find a few new friends
DEmCG
I'm throwing aces everywhere, trying to forget the end
[Chorus]
BC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GDG
Hold me tight, I beg of you
[Verse 2]
DEmCG
I'm cruising through Jerusalem, dust is flying everywhere
DEmCG
I'm dodging bullets, making time, on the level, in the square
DEmCG
They say you kissed your best friend's hand, they say you did it for his love
DEmCG
They say he died in agony, the hand fits well into the glove
[Chorus]
BC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I beg of you
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GDG
Hold me tight, I beg of you
[Solo]
D Em C G x4
[Chorus]
BC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I beg of you
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GD
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through
EmC
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord
GDG
Hold me tight, I beg of you
