Hold Back The Tide Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Hold [D]back the tide, Johnny
Keep me from losing, losing my way
[G]Oh, [D]when the waters turn my bonnie
I'll shutter my windows and
hide from the day.
When the ship meets the river,
men's hearts sail away.
When we were [G]young, Johnny,
[D]we strolled by the river,
straight by [A]the stream
[D]Oh, you talk [G]my heart, Johnny
We [D]sailed the same oceans
And dreamed the same [G]dreams
Now [D]when the ships go off
I'll lose you, [G]seems
[D]So hold back the [G]tide, [D]Johnny
Keep me from losing, los[A]ing [D]my [A]way
[D]Oh, when the waters [G]turn [A]my [G]bonnie
I'll [D]shutter my windows an
[A]d hide from [G]the day
[D]Stone, si[A]lence an[D]d empty glances
Trapped in the gaps
between heaven [A]an d hell
[D]Cold [A]time [D]lies [G]heavy on you
[D]The big ships are gone, love,
there's [A]no more to [G]tell
So [D]hold back the [G]tide, [D]Johnny
Keep me from losing, losing my way
Oh, when the waters turn [G]my bon[D]nie
I shall turn my windows
And [A]hide from the [G]day
[D]The big ships are gone, love
There's no more to tell
