Hold On

(verse 1)

D                       G
They hung a sign up in out town
        A7                    D
"if you live it up, you won't live 
it down"
D                   G
So, she left Monte Rio, son
      A7            D
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
      G                 A7
With charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
              D             G
She went and took that California 
trip
           Em                 A7
Well, the moon was gold, her Hair 
like wind
          Em                   A7
She said don't look back just Come 
on Jim

(chorus)

Oh you got to
D        A        D
Hold on, Hold on
           G
You got to hold on
D                   A
Take my hand, I'm standing right 
here
           D
You gotta hold on

(verse 2)
D                    G
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
A7               D
And a ring made from a spoon
D                        G
Everyone is looking for someone to 
blame
          A7                D
But you share my bed, you share my 
name
Continúa después del anuncio
       G                A7
Well, go ahead and call the cops
           D                  G
You don't meet nice girls in coffee 
shops
Em                A7
She said baby, I still love you
     Em                   A7
Sometimes there's nothin left to do

(chorus)

Oh you got to
 D        A        D
Hold on, Hold on
                 G
Baby, You got to hold on
D                   A
Take my hand, I'm standing right 
here
           D
You gotta hold on

(verse 3)
          D                  G
Well, God bless your crooked little 
heart
    A7              D
St. Louis got  the  best  of me
D                  G
I miss your broken-china voice
      A7                  D
How I wish you were still here with 
me
        G                         
Oh, you build it up, you wreck it 
A7
down
    D                 G
You burn your mansion to the ground
             Em              A7
When there's nothing left to keep 
you here, when
       Em                     A7
You're falling behind in this big 
blue world

(chorus)

Oh you got to
D        A         D
Hold on, Hold on
                G
Baby you got to hold on
D                   A
Take my hand, I'm standing right 
here
           D
You gotta hold on

(verse 4)
   D             G
Down by the Riverside motel,
     A7           D
It's 10 below and falling
D           G
By a ninety nine cent store
    A7                   D
She closed her eyes and started 
swaying
    G               A7
But it's so hard to dance that way
          D                   G
When it's cold and there's no music
          Em                 A7
Well your old hometown is so far 
away
       Em                      
But, inside your head there's a 
   A7
record that's playing

(chorus)

A song called
D        A        D
Hold on, Hold on
           G
You got to hold on
D                   A
Take my hand, I'm standing right 
here
           D
You gotta hold on
