Hold On To What?
(Heaton/Rotheray)
From: "Alessandro Ott" <alexott@ipsnet.it>
Bb
She'd given everything she could given
F/C Eb/Bb Eb
Twenty years of kindness made her sad
Bb
Kindness never made enough to live
F/C Eb/Bb Eb
So she sold the very last thing that she had
Bb7+ F
As she held her hand out to him, as she drove around the block
Eb Bb
He mouthed through the window "just hold on"
Bb7è F
I've held on many years now and I haven't found a lot
Eb Bb
Hold on, hold on to what?
Bb Gm
Bb Eb F
So hold on, hold on to what? Hold on, hold on to what?
Eb Bb Eb
Bb
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
Eb Bb Cm F
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
Bb Gm Bb Eb F
So hold on, hold on to what?
Many years of service with a smile
Up shit creek and down the Rhine
Gibraltar Rock and now the Emerald Isle
He'd shined every shoe that he could shine
And as he lay in his own blood
Screaming "I've been shot"
He heard the Major whisper "just hold on"
I've held on all these tears now, now what medal have I got?
Hold on, hold on to what?
So hold on, hold on to what? Hold on, hold on to what?
Holding on is harder when it's something you've not got
I'll need a pair of stilts if I'm to ever reach the top
So hold on, hold on to what?
Sixty years and he's looking his worst
Sitting in the park where she'd died
Running hands through his final hair Gm
Bb Gm Bb
These are the words that he cried, hold on, hold on
Gm Bb C
(7)
"To achieve the American dream you need a trampoline
Eb Gm
To achieve the counter effect get that whisky down your neck"
Bb C (7) Eb
And hold on, hold on, hold on
Chamberlain had his paper, Jesus had his cross
They held on, we held on to what?
