 A5  F5  C5  E5


Verse 1.
C5                            A5 ( E5 )
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
C5                                      A5 ( E5 )
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
C5                                            A5 ( E5 )
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
F5               
But I ain't giving up quite yet,
         E5
I've got too much to lose,

Chorus.
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5                      F5              E5           C5
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5         F5   E5
Hold me down, and i'll carry you home.

Verse 2.


C5                                         A5 ( E5 )
The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
C5                                         A5 ( E5 )
The wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise
C5                                         A5 ( E5 )
She said, when that day comes look into my eyes
F5                                      E5
But no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose,

Chorus.
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5                      F5              E5           C5
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5         F5   E5
Hold me down, and i'll carry you,


A5
all the way
            F5
When you say you're fine
                    C5              E5
But you're still young and out of line,
    A5            F5
When all I need's to turn around
C5               E5
To make it last, to make it count,
A5                F5
I ain't gonna make the same mistakes
C5                E5
That put my mama in her grave
A5               F5 C5 E5 -[Spread through that one word]
I don't wanna be alone.

Chorus.
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5                      F5              E5           C5
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
A5                      F5          C5   E5
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
A5         F5   E5
Hold me down, and i'll carry you home.
