Verse:
G D
I used to be a Pharisee,
Em C D
Cynical and wise, telling rich ungodly lies Of humanity
G D
But in the marketplace was seated, a cripple with a lyre.
Am D
I looked at him and said "I've been rich but so unhappy,
C
What sets your soul on fire?"
D G D
And he said "Look upon me, brother, I'm a man with piece of mind,
Em G C
You know I've never been good at nothing
D
But the words I wrought in rhyme,
G D
But I've a good woman to feed me, and friends to share a brew.
Am D
And evenings we sit around and sing together,
C G
and it could be the same for you", if you...

Chorus:
C D G
Just hold on, to young friends you made of old,
C D G
And cleave to the woman who keeps us whole,
C D
And keep a warm fire for all your friends,
Am Bm
who come in from the cold,
Am C
I love you all as brothers,
Am C
and I don't even know their names,
Am D
For you this must sound different,
D G
but for us it always stays the same...
Verse:
G
Tonight the smoke is rising, from around the room,
Am C D
And judging from the warmth of smells from the kitchen,
G D
There'll be supper ready soon... And our table's set for twenty,
G D
room for more if they should come,
Am C D
And later on we'll pass around the wine for our pleasure,
Am Bm
and sing until the morning comes
Chorus: (x2)
C D G
Just hold on, to young friends you made of old,
C D G
And cleave to the woman who keeps us whole,
C D
And keep a warm fire for all your friends,
Am Bm
who come in from the cold,
Am C
I love you all as brothers,
Am C
and I don't even know their names,
Am D
For you this must sound different,
D G
