The Old Holland chords by Rocky Votolato

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 BB          C# minorC#m      BB  E MajorE       BB
I was sick with that old Margaret, for four years, near about
              D#mD#m  G# minorG#m          D#mD#m G# minorG#m
young, dumb and dumbstruck when Margie, she blew my candle out
BB             E MajorE  G# minorG#m     D#mD#m G# minorG#m
I’ve got to have me a partner if I’m to sell it all
BB           C# minorC#m       E MajorE          BB
save the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall


Verse 2:
 BB         C# minorC#m         BB  E MajorE       BB
Stare through the beers and year and the bags and bruises fade
              D#mD#m  G# minorG#m          D#mD#m G# minorG#m
those grim lines turn sharp and fine, like laws the pilgrim laid
BB               E MajorE  G# minorG#m     D#mD#m G# minorG#m
beaming through all the brag and cuss, promising the fall
BB          C# minorC#m        E MajorE         BB
at the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall


Verse 3:
 BB         C# minorC#m        BB  E MajorE      BB
Soak up their mislaid luck and the floor is a pond of piss
              D#mD#m  G# minorG#m          D#mD#m G# minorG#m
the brown glass throws a face back, wondering how it came to this
BB              E MajorE  G# minorG#m       D#mD#m G# minorG#m
something about being there at last makes a man stand tall
BB          C# minorC#m          E MajorE         BB
that’s the mirror I look best in, in the back of that dirty hall


Verse 4:
 BB       C# minorC#m          BB  E MajorE     BB
I can’t take up another drink and fight them now no more
                D#mD#m  G# minorG#m          D#mD#m G# minorG#m
they’re all moving, you’re one of them, through that Old Holland door
BB             E MajorE  G# minorG#m      D#mD#m G# minorG#m
I’m wishing for a pardon through hoarse and hungry calls
BB        C# minorC#m          E MajorE           BB
