• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Capo on 2

Verse 1:
  E MajorE              A augmentedA
I run a lot of miles of life and crime

Of mountain climbs and quittin' times
C# minorC#m
Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
BB
And tired jokes and wooden dimes
A augmentedA           C# minorC#m         BB
I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend

Verse 2:
       E MajorE             A augmentedA
I could lose my house, I could steal a car

I could serve two masters, living hard
C# minorC#m
Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
                          A augmentedA
With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let go
            C# minorC#m              BB
The devil can't have my soul, the devil can't get your soul
             A augmentedA
The devil can't get your soul

Chorus:
E MajorE       A augmentedA
Hold out your hand
         C# minorC#m
Take hold of mine now
        BB        E(F#F#)
Round and round we go
         A augmentedA
Don't you wanna dance

      C# minorC#m
I'm a dying man
          BB
From the moment we began
        E MajorE
Hold out your hand
             A augmentedA
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             C# minorC#m
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             BB
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

Verse 3:
  E MajorE
The hand comes around and the trumpet sounds
    A augmentedA
And his number calls and the moment he falls
                   BB
And the haunted halls of man he will understand
        A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
He will comprehend, he will not pretend
       BB
He will not pretend

Verse 4:
     E MajorE            A augmentedA
When the rain don't fall and the river don't run

And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun
C# minorC#m
The devil don't break with a fiery snake
                       A augmentedA
And you handled about goddamn much as you can take
            C# minorC#m              BB
The devil don't take a break, the devil don't take a break
           A augmentedA
The devil don't take no break

Chorus:
E MajorE       A augmentedA
Hold out your hand
         C# minorC#m
Take hold of mine now
        BB        E MajorE
Round and round we go
         A augmentedA
Don't you wanna dance

      C# minorC#m
I'm a dying man
          BB
From the moment we began
        E MajorE
Hold out your hand
             A augmentedA
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             C# minorC#m
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             BB
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

Bridge:
E MajorE
Well he came to my door to sell me the fear

With some cameras and bullets and tension and
C# minorC#m
Here is a license for killing your own native son
                      A augmentedA
For a careless mistake and a fake plastic gun?
 C# minorC#m      BB        A augmentedA        BB
(Come on!)

E MajorE
Deliver your brother from violence and greed
    A augmentedA
For the mountains, lay down for your faith like a seed

There will be color and language and nobody wanting to fight
        C# minorC#m
What a glorious sight!
        BB
What a glorious sight!
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             BB
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

Hold out your hand

Take hold of mine now

Round and round we go
         A augmentedA
Don't you wanna dance

I'm a dying man
          BB
From the moment we began
        E MajorE
Hold out your hand
             A augmentedA
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             C# minorC#m
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
