Hold My Hand by Hootie and The Blowfish - guitar chords, guitar tabs and lyrics

	Bsus2	E	Bsus2	E
With a little	love	and some	tenderness

Bsus2 E Bsus2 E etc

We'll walk upon the water, we'll rise above the mist

With a little peace, and some harmony

We'll take the world together, we'll take them by the hand

F# E* B

Cause, I got a hand for you, oh

F# E* B

Cause, I wanna run with you

Yesterday, I saw you standing there

Your head was heavy, your eyes were red, no comb had touched your hair

I said "Get up, and let me see you smile

We'll take a walk together, walk the road a while"

Cause, I got a hand for you - I got a hand for you

I wanna run with you - won't you let me run with you

B E* F#

Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand

B E* F#

Hold my hand - I'll take you to a place where you can be

B E* F#

Hold my hand - anything you wanna be, because

I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

See I was wasted, and I was wasting time

Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes

Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud

"Don't wanna be part of your problems, don't wanna be part of your crowd, no"

Cause, I gotta hand for you - I got a hand for you

I wanna run with you - won't you let me run with you

Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand

Hold my hand - I will take you to the promised land

Hold my hand - Maybe we can't change the world but,

I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can

Solo: |Bsus2 E | x4

|F# E* |B | x2

Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand

Hold my hand - I'll take you to a place where you can be

Hold my hand - anything you wanna be cause

I, no lo lo, oh ho (!?)

Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand

Hold my hand - I will take you to the promised land

Hold my hand - Maybe we can't change the world but,

I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
