Tuning: DGAFAD (Whole-step down) INTRO E x4 (Throw a Esus4 in every now and then) VERSE 1
E AThey hung a sign up in our town
B E"If you live it up, you won't live it down"
E ASo she left Monte Rio, son
B E EJust like a bullet leaves a gun
A BWith her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips
E AShe went and took that California trip
F#m BWell the moon was gold, her hair like wind
F#m B BShe said don't look back, just come on Jim
CHORUS
E B E AOh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on
E B ETake my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
VERSE 2
E AWell he gave her a dime store watch
B EAnd a ring made from a spoon
E AEveryone's looking for someone to blame
B E EIf you share my bed you share my name
A BWell go ahead and call the cops
E A AYou don't meet nice girls in coffee shops
F#m B --She said baby I still love you
F#m B BSometimes there's nothing left to do
CHORUS
E B E AOh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on
E B ETake my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
VERSE 3
E A Well god bless your crooked little heart
B ESt. Louis got the best of me
E AI miss your broken china voice
B E EHow I wish you were still here with me
A BWell you build it up and wreck it down
E A AThen you burn your mansion to the ground
F#m B When there's nothing to keep you here
F#m B BWhen you're falling behind in this big blue world
CHORUS
E B E AOh you got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
E B E ETake my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
VERSE 4
E ADown by the Riverside Motel
B EIt's 10 below and falling
E ABy a 99 cent store
B E EShe closed her eyes and started swaying
A BBut it' so hard to dance that way
E A AWhen it's cold and there's no music
F#m BWell your old home town's so far away
F#m B BBut inside your head there's a record that's playing
CHORUS
E B E AA song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on
E B ETake my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
E B E AYou got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
E B E Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
E B E AYou got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
E B E Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
E B E AYou got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on
E B E Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
