G I run a lot of miles of life and crime C Of mountain climbs and quittin' times Em Packing that load of lyin' rhymes D And tired jokes and wooden dimes C Em D I've been everybody's friend, everybody's friend I could lose my house, I could steal a car I could serve two masters, living hard Living like a dog in a cage in a yard With a fist full of cold hard cash that I can't let go The devil can't have my soul, the devil can't get your soul C The devil can't get your soul Chorus: G C Hold out your hand Em Take hold of mine now D Round and round we go G C Don't you wanna dance Em I'm a dying man D From the moment we began Hold out your hand G C Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da Em Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da D Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da When the man comes around and the trumpet sounds And his number calls and the moment he falls In the haunted halls of man he will understand He will comprehend, he will not pretend He will not pretend When the rain don't fall and the river don't run And the wind takes orders from the blazing sun The devil don't break for the fiery snake And you've had about as goddamn much as you can take The devil don't take a break, the devil don't take a break The devil don't take no break Chorus G Well he came to my door to sell me the fear With some cameras and bullets and tension in here A license for killing your own native son C For a careless mistake and a fake plastic gun? Em D (Come on!) G Deliver your brother from violence and greed For the mountains lay down for your faith like a seed A morning is coming of silver and light There will be color and language C and nobody wanting to fight Em What a glorious sight! D What a glorious sight! G C Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da Em Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da D Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da Chorus: Hold out your hand (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) Take hold of mine and then (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) Round and round we go (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) Don't you wanna dance (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) I'm a dying man (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) From the moment we began (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) Hold out your hand (ba da da, ba da da, ba da da) Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da Ba da da, ba da da, ba da da | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC D Em G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
