Tuning: E A D G B E

N.C. = no chordschanged [Verse 1]

^GI run a lot of miles of life and crime Of ^Cmountain climbs and quittin' times ^EmPacking that load of lyin' rhymes And ^Dtired jokes and wooden dimes I'v^Ce been everybody's ^Emfriend, everybody's ^Dfriend

[Verse 2]

^GI could lose my house, I could steal a car

N.C.

I could serve two masters, living hard

Living like a dog in a cage in a yard

With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let ^Cgo The devil can't have my^Em soul, the devil can't get your so^Dul The devil can't get yo^Cur soul

[Chorus]

^GHold out your ^Chand Take hold of mine ^Emnow Round and round we ^Dgo ^GDon't you wanna ^Cdance I'm a dying ^Emman From the moment we b^Degan

Hold out your hand

^GBa da da, ba da da, ba da ^Cda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Emda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da d^Da

[Verse 3]

^GThe man comes around and the trumpet sounds And his ^Cnumber calls and the moment he falls In the h^Emaunted halls of man he will understa^Dnd He will comp^Crehend, he will not pret^Emend He will not pret^Dend

[Verse 4]

^GWhen the rain don't fall and the river don't run

N.C.

And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun

The devil don't break with a fiery snake

And you had about as goddamn much as you can t^Cake The devil don't take a br^Emeak, the devil don't take a br^Deak The devil don't take no^C break

[Chorus]

^GHold out your ^Chand Take hold of mine ^Emnow Round and round we ^Dgo ^GDon't you wanna ^Cdance I'm a dying ^Emman From the moment we b^Degan

Hold out your hand

^GBa da da, ba da da, ba da ^Cda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Emda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da d^Da

[Bridge]

^GWell he came to my door to sell me the fear

N.C.

With some cameras and bullets and tension in here

A license for killing your own native son

For a careless mistake and a fake plastic ^Cgun? (Come^Em on!)^D ^GDeliver your brother from violence and greed

N.C.

For the mountains lay down for your faith like a seed

A morning is coming of silver and light

There will be color and language and nobody wanting to ^Cfight What a glorious ^Emsight! What a glorious ^Dsight! ^GBa da da, ba da da, ^Cba da da Ba da da, ba da da, ^Emba da da Ba da da, ba da da, ^Dba da da

[Chorus]

^GHold out your ^Chand Take hold of mine ^Emnow Round and round we ^Dgo ^GDon't you wanna ^Cdance I'm a dying ^Emman From the moment we b^Degan

Hold out your hand

^GBa da da, ba da da, ba da ^Cda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da ^Emda Ba da da, ba da da, ba da d^Da

Ba da da for FOREVER
