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
