N.C. = no chordschanged


Verse 1:
G
I run a lot of miles of life and crime
  C
Of mountain climbs and quittin' times
Em
Packing that load of lyin' rhymes
  D
And tired jokes and wooden dimes
  C         Em         D
I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend

Verse 2:
G
I could lose my house, I could steal a car
N.C.
I could serve two masters, living hard

Living like a dog in a cage in a yard
                          C
With a fist full of cold hard cash and I can't let go
            Em                D
The devil can't have my soul, the devil can't get your soul
           C
The devil can't get your soul


Chorus:
G       C
Hold out your hand
         Em
Take hold of mine now
          D
Round and round we go
G        C
Don't you wanna dance
      Em
I'm a dying man
          D
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G             C
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             Em
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da


Verse 3:
G
The man comes around and the trumpet sounds
    C
And his number calls and the moment he falls
    Em                 D
In the haunted halls of man he will understand
      C            Em
He will comprehend, he will not pretend
        D
He will not pretend


Verse 4:
G
When the rain don't fall and the river don't run
N.C.
And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun

The devil don't break with a fiery snake
                       C
And you had about as goddamn much as you can take
             Em              D
The devil don't take a break, the devil don't take a break
            C
The devil don't take no break


Chorus:
G       C
Hold out your hand
         Em
Take hold of mine now
          D
Round and round we go
G        C
Don't you wanna dance
      Em
I'm a dying man
          D
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G             C
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             Em
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da


Bridge:
G
Well he came to my door to sell me the fear
N.C.
With some cameras and bullets and tension in here

A license for killing your own native son
                     C
For a careless mistake and a fake plastic gun?
   Em  D
(Come on!)
G
Deliver your brother from violence and greed
N.C.
For the mountains lay down for your faith like a seed

A morning is coming of silver and light
                            C
There will be color and language and nobody wanting to fight
        Em
What a glorious sight!
        D
What a glorious sight!
G          C
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
          Em
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
          D
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da


Chorus:
G       C
Hold out your hand
         Em
Take hold of mine now
          D
Round and round we go
G        C
Don't you wanna dance
      Em
I'm a dying man
          D
From the moment we began

Hold out your hand
G             C
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             Em
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
              D
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da



Ba da da for FOREVER
