Hootie & the Blowfish – Hold My Hand  (Album: Cracked Rear View (1994))

[ Bsus2      | E    ]        (repeat Chords for verse)

With a little love    and some tenderness

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

pre-chorus

F#               E*       B  

  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}

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”

[pre-chorus]

B    E* F#

    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, because

(E)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

[pre-chorus]

B    E* F#

    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,

(E)I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
