Difficulty: Novice

N.C. = no chordschanged


Verse 1:
G+G
I run a lot of miles of life and crime
  C majorC
Of mountain climbs and quittin' times
E minorEm
Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
  D MajorD
And tired jokes and wooden dimes
  C majorC         E minorEm         D MajorD
I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend

Verse 2:
G+G
I 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
                          C majorC
With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let go
            E minorEm                D MajorD
The devil can't have my soul, the devil can't get your soul
           C majorC
The devil can't get your soul


Chorus:
G+G       C majorC
Hold out your hand
         E minorEm
Take hold of mine now
          D MajorD
Round and round we go
G+G        C majorC
Don't you wanna dance
      E minorEm
I'm a dying man
          D MajorD
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G+G             C majorC
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             E minorEm
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D MajorD
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

Verse 3:
G+G
The man comes around and the trumpet sounds
    C majorC
And his number calls and the moment he falls
    E minorEm                 D MajorD
In the haunted halls of man he will understand
      C majorC            E minorEm
He will comprehend, he will not pretend
        D MajorD
He will not pretend


Verse 4:
G+G
When 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
                       C majorC
And you had about as goddamn much as you can take
             E minorEm              D MajorD
The devil don't take a break, the devil don't take a break
            C majorC
The devil don't take no break


Chorus:
G+G       C majorC
Hold out your hand
         E minorEm
Take hold of mine now
          D MajorD
Round and round we go
G+G        C majorC
Don't you wanna dance
      E minorEm
I'm a dying man
          D MajorD
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G+G             C majorC
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             E minorEm
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D MajorD
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da


Bridge:
G+G
Well he came to my door to sell me the fear
N.C.
With some cameras and bullets and tension in here

A augmentedA license for killing your own native son
                     C majorC
For a careless mistake and a fake plastic gun?
   E minorEm  D MajorD
(Come on!)
G+G
Deliver your brother from violence and greed
N.C.
For the mountains lay down for your faith like a seed

A augmentedA morning is coming of silver and light
                            C majorC
There will be color and language and nobody wanting to fight
        E minorEm
What a glorious sight!
        D MajorD
What a glorious sight!
G+G          C majorC
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
          E minorEm
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
          D MajorD
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da


Chorus:
G+G       C majorC
Hold out your hand
         E minorEm
Take hold of mine now
          D MajorD
Round and round we go
G+G        C majorC
Don't you wanna dance
      E minorEm
I'm a dying man
          D MajorD
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G+G             C majorC
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             E minorEm
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D MajorD
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
