Chris De Burgh - Hold On
 
 
CAPO: 2nd Fret
 
  
INTRO: C E Am Dm G C
 
 
          E                   Am       Dm
Somewhere, a lonely girl lies weeping,
  G7               C         Dm
A lonely man tries sleeping,
                   E
But he's getting nowhere
 
 
C        E                   Am       Dm
Sometime, it may be close to morning,
    G7                    C        Dm
She thought she heard him calling,
                   E
But there's nobody there
 
 
CHORUS:
    F        D           G          G7     G
And somehow, somehow, he knows he's got to try to
     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  somewhere she's crying for him,
     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  someday her smile will call him
     C Em         Dm                F
Hold on,  there's someone out there trying for him
         D         G   C
Somehow, sometime, somewhere
 
 
          E                  Am       Dm
Somewhere, again she sleeps alone,
     G7               C         Dm
He's reaching for the phone,
                    E
But he's calling no-one.
 
 
     C        Em     E7              Am7     Dm
Ooh, sometime, she's dreaming of her lover,
    G7             C      Dm
It really can't be over,
                  E
We've only just begun
 
 
CHORUS:
    F        D          G         G7     G
And somehow, somehow, I know I've got to try to
     C   Em  Dm                 G
Hold on, somewhere she's crying for me,
     C  Em    Dm                 G
Hold on,  someday her smile will call me,
     C Em        Dm                F
Hold on, there's someone out there trying for me
         D         G   C Em Dm G
Somehow, sometime, somewhere____
     C Em  D  G
Hold on___
     C Em  Dm  F7  F
Hold on___
 
 
OUTRO: (# slowly & quietly #)
             D         C
Somehow, sometime, somewhere.
