John Hiatt - Hold On For Your Love


Em, G, C, Am    -       Am, C, D, Em
Em, G, C, Am    -       Am, C, D, Em

Em              G              C           Am
Streets are all empty, the network's deveined

Am               C             D      Em
Buildings walled up, electricity drained

Em              G              C           Am
Shots in the square where they mowed them all down

Am         C            D         Em
River runs red from the center of town

Em              G              C         Am
I worked for my daddy, he worked for his paw

Am               C                    D              Em
'Til they came from the city and they took what they saw

Em             G           C              Am
We rented back land and we worked what we could

Am       C                 D                   Em
But they built it and they stripped it 'til it wasn't no good

      G
And I know I

      B
Yes I know I

      Em
Gotta hold on

          C       G     D       
Hold on for your love


Em, G, C, Am    -       Am, C, D, Em


Em              G        C           Am
Out in the woods, my old truck is on fire

Am               C             D      Em
Burning the last drops of my enormous desire

Em         G               C           Am
Men eating men and there's no time for crying

Am               C             D      Em
I'm tired of the blood and I'm sick of the dying


      G            B
And I know I            Yes I know I

      B            Em
Yes I know I            Gotta hold on


     C       G  D
Hold on for your love

Em, G, C, Am - Am, C, D, Em

Em, G, C, Am - Am, C, D, Em

Em              G              C           Am
Burn down the cabin and put out the stars

Am               C             D      Em
Tear up the fields and leave everything scarred

Em              G              C           Am
I've been here before but I don't know this place

Am               C             D      Em
I've been here with you but I can't see your face

      G
And I know I

      B
Yes I know I

      Em
Gotta hold on

          C       G    D
Hold on for your love

         Em
I gotta hold on

         C         G    D
Hold on for your love 

Em, G, C, Am    -       Am, C, D, Em

Em, G, C, Am    -       Am, C, D, Em
