intro: (chords through riff) A......D E
A F#m
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends
A F#m
Spin in the middle when the troubles begin
D E
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
D E
That you're cool, so cool, so cool
A F#m
Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I will not be tamed
A F#m
Talk like a jerk or an educated brain
D E
Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane
D E
Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter
Chorus:
A F#m
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
A F#m
Every one needs a hand to hold on to
D E
Don't need to be no strong hand
D E
Don't need to be no rich hand
D E A
Every one just needs a hand to hold on to
repeat intro
A F#m
Havin' good luck with your financial situation
A F#m
Play the ponies, be president of the United Nations
D E
Go to work and be a Hollywood stud
D E
Drive your four-wheel drive right into the mud, yeah
(repeat chorus)
A F#m A
And then those hours when you're alone
F#m A
And there's no body there except yourself
F#m A
I know it, you wanna pick up the phone
D
And say, "Talk to me, talk to me
E
Somebody please talk to me"
yeah...ah...ah...ahhh
