Here is a song I have been looking for, so I bought the CD and   
      transcribed it myself. I hope everyone enjoys   Dean Comer  
 
Holding Her and Lovng You 
By Earl Thomas Conley 
(key of G5 ) 
songwriters Walt Aldridge/Tommy Brasfield 
 

G5                      C5                G5  D5  C5 
It's the third hardest thing I'll ever do 
        G5    D5        G5 
leavin' here without you 
G5                      C5            G5  D5  C5 
and the second hardest thing I'll ever do 
          G5   D5       G5 
is tellin her about you 
A5 
she's been good to me 
G5 
when things were goin' rough 
A5                   D5 
how can I tell her now, good ain't good enough 
    G5                      C5            G5  D5  C5 
oh, the hardest thing I've ever had to do  
           G5        D5        G5 
is holding her, and loving you 
 

G5                          C5            G5  D5  C5 
if she'd give me one good reason I'd be gone 
          G5      D5        G5              
she ain't done, one thing wrong 
G5                          C5            G5  D5  C5 
so don't expet me to just walk out of the door 
             G5    D5                G5 
I still love her, but I love you more 
A5 
she's been good to me 
G5 
when things weren't goin' right 
A5                    D5             
she made my days long before you made my nights 
G5                          C5            G5  D5  C5 
so, the hardest thing I've ever had to do  
           G5        D5       G5 
is holding her, and loving you 
 

G5  C5  G5  D5  G5  C5   
 
G5                            C5            G5  D5  C5 
yeah, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
          G5        D5      G5 
is holing her, and loving you 
G5                            C5            G5  D5  C5 
girl, the hardest thing I'll ever have to do 
           G5        D5      G5 
is holding her, and loving you
