James Keelaghan - Hold Your Ground




CAPO: 2nd Fret


  G+G  N.C.
Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youth
   G+G   N.C.                     G+G
Some pithy little saying that contained a grain of truth
  C majorC
If patience is a virtue, persistence is its mark
   G+G
It's better to light a candle than to stand and curse the dark
  D MajorD               A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
But if we stand together, we might turn this world around
     C-G-D-G  C majorC ~
Hold your ground__

    G+G
In the corridors of power, where our voice is seldom heard

The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word
  C majorC
For us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts
  G+G
To notify the ship of state to bring its course about
  D MajorD               A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
But if we pull together, we might turn this ship around
     C-G-D-G  C-G-D-G  C-G-D-G  C majorC ~
Hold your ground__


E minorEm          C majorC  G+G   E minorEm
Oh___, this world is changing
            C majorC
Spinning out through space and time
E minorEm       C majorC  G+G
Oh___, it's rearranging
A minorAm                    C majorC
All the things we thought were yours and mine
       FF  C majorC  G+G
You've got to hold your ground
A minorAm  G+G  FF
Hold your ground
   C majorC  G+G
Hold your ground
A minorAm  G+G  FF
Hold your ground

  G+G
Sometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde

There are so many reversals of advances that you've made
  C majorC
The things you thought were changing have shuddered to a halt
  G+G
The only view is forward when your back's against the wall
  D MajorD               A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
     C-G-D-G  C majorC ~
Hold your ground__


INSTRUMENTAL: E minorEm C majorC G+G E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC G+G A minorAm G+G C majorC


       FF  C majorC  G+G
You've got to hold your ground
A minorAm  G+G  FF
Hold your ground
   C majorC  G+G
Hold your ground
A minorAm  G+G  FF
Hold your ground


  G+G
It isn't for the faint of heart to bet when odds are long

And neither is it easy to be right in face of wrong
  C majorC
You must proceed from strength to strength, although the road is rough
  G+G
And sometimes human courage just isn't quite enough
  D MajorD               A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
But if we stand together we might turn this world around

Hold your ground (Hold your ground)

Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
       ~ G+G  C majorC ~
Hold your ground
E minorEm        C majorC  G+G
