Hold Out Your Hand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I run a lot of miles of life
and crime
And mountain [F]climbs and quittin' times
[Am]Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
[G]And tired jokes and wooden dimes
[F]I've been every[Am]body's friend,
everybody's friend
[G]

[Verse 2]
I could lose [C]my house,
I could steal a car
I could serve two masters, living hard
Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
With a fist full of cold hard
cash that I can[F]'t let go
The devil can't get [Am]your soul
The devil can't get [G]your soul
The devil can't get [F]your soul
[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Hold out your [F]hand
Take hold of mine [Am]now
Round and round we [G]go[C]
Don't you wanna [F]dance
I'm a dying [Am]man
From the moment we [G]began
Hold out your [C]hand
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [F]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [Am]da

[Verse 4]
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
[G]When the [C]man comes around
and the trumpet sounds
[F]And his number calls and the
moment he falls
[Am]In the haunted halls of man
he will [G]understand
He will com[F]prehend,
he will not [Am]pretend
He will not pretend
[G]

[Verse 5]
When the rain [C]don't fall and
the river don't run
And the wind takes orders
from the blazing sun
The devil don't break for the
fiery snake
And you've had about as goddamn
much as you can [F]take
The devil don't take [Am]a break,
the devil don't take [G]a break
The devil don't take [F]a break
[C]

[Verse 6]
[C]Hold out your [F]hand
Take hold of mine [Am]now
Round and round we [G]go[C]
Don't you wanna [F]dance
I'm a dying [Am]man
From the moment we [G]began
Hold out your [C]hand
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [F]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [Am]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba [G]da da

[Verse 7]
Well [C]he came to my door
to sell me the fear
With cameras and bullets and tension and
Here is a license for killing
your own native son
For a careless mistake and a fake
plastic [F]gun[Am][G]
Deliv[C]er your brother from
violence and greed
For the mountains lay down
for your faith like a seed
A morning is coming of silver and light
There will be color and language and
nobody wanting to [F]fight
What a glorious [Am]sight!
What a glorious [G]sight![C]
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [F]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [Am]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
[G][C]

[Verse 8]
[C]Hold out your [F]hand
Take hold of mine [Am]now
Round and round we [G]go[C]
Don't you wanna [F]dance
I'm a dying [Am]man
From the moment we [G]began
Hold out your [C]hand
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [F]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da [Am]da
Ba da da, ba da da, ba [G]da da
Hold out your hand
[C]
