Hold My Hand Acoustic Chords by Hootie And The Blowfish

On the record it is in the key of B and for the best true
sound you should probably play it that way WITHOUT a capo.
You can put a capo on the second fret to stay in B or just
play it in A to be more vocal friendly.

Capo 2 (optional)

A D 4x

Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
