                 B                 Bb           Ebm  
He gives another smile, tries to understand her side

                Ab                           B
To show that he cares, she can't stay in the room

         Bb         Ebm                          Ab
She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on


She says




[Chrous]

         B      Bb                   Ebm7
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand




                     B               Bb
Everything will be alright, he assures her

Ebm                                  Ab
But she doesn't hear a word that he says

        B             Bb
Preoccupied, she's afraid

  Ebm                                  Ab
Afraid that what they're doing is not right

                        B          Bb
He doesn't know what to say, so he prays

    Ebm7      C#        B
Whatever, whatever, whatever




[Chorus]

         B      Bb                   Ebm7   Ab
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

         B      Bb                   Ebm7   Ab
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

         B      Bb                   Ebm7
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand



[Santana Guitar Solo]
D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the drums) x4

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand


                     B                   Bb
He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy
Ebm                               Ab
Forgetting all the dreams that he had
              B                 Bb
He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world
Ebm7                       Ab
It doesn't have to be that bad
                B                    Bb          
She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"

    Ebm7      C#        B
Whatever, whatever, whatever


[Chorus]
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

[Santana Guitar Solo]
D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the drums)

Don't let go of my hand
Don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
