Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Capo on 2

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Don't you wanna dance

Hold out your hand
             A
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             C#m
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da
             B
Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da

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

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

E
Deliver your brother from violence and greed
    A
For the mountains, lay down for your faith like a seed
 C#m
A morning is coming of silver and light

There will be color and language and nobody wanting to fight
