The song:

[Intro]
D#m , G#m , D#m , G#m , D#m , G#m , 
Bb (look below for the plucking)
E|--------------------------------
B|---------6--------------6-------
G|-------7---7------------7-------
D|-----8-------8----------8-------
A|---8-----------8--------8-------
E|-6---------------6~~~-----------

                 B              
He gives another smile, tries to 
   Bb           D#m
understand her side
                G#              
To show that he cares, she can't 
             B
stay in the room
         Bb         D#m      
She's consumed with everything 
                    G#
that's been goin' on

She says

[Chrous]
Continues after the ad
         B      Bb                
Whatever happens, don't let go of 
   D#m7
my hand

                     B        
Everything will be alright, he 
       Bb
assures her
D#m                               
But she doesn't hear a word that 
   G#
he says
        B             Bb
Preoccupied, she's afraid
  D#m                            
Afraid that what they're doing is 
      G#
not right
                        B          
He doesn't know what to say, so he 
Bb
prays
    D#m7      C#        B
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]
         B      Bb                
Whatever happens, don't let go of 
   D#m7   G#
my hand
         B      Bb                
Whatever happens, don't let go of 
   D#m7   G#
my hand
         B      Bb                
Whatever happens, don't you let go
   D#m7
 of my hand

*Santana Guitar Solo*
D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the
 drums) x4

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

                     B             
He's working day and night, thinks 
      Bb
he'll make her happy
D#m                               
Forgetting all the dreams that he 
G#
had
              B                 Bb
He doesn't realize it's not the end 
of the world
D#m7                       G#
It doesn't have to be that bad
                B                  
She tries to explain, "It's you 
  Bb
that makes me happy,"

    D#m7      C#        B
Whatever, whatever, whatever

[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my
 hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my
 hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my
 hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go 
of my hand

[Santana Guitar Solo]
D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the
 drums)

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my
 hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my
 hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go 
of my hand
