[Bm]Hold [A]on, [G]hold [G]on
| [D] D---- | [G] G-- [D] D-- |
DYou've got a [G]girl who really [D]loves you
< You've got a [G]girl who really [D]cares >
She'll do any[G]thing you ask her [D]to
Yet you [Bm]treat her wrong
[A]You [G]just string her a[G/F#]long
[Em]Brother, if I were in your [A]shoes
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on, [D]hold on tight
[F#m]And make the [G]whole world know she's [A]mine
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on, [D]with all my might
 A[Em]love like hers is [A]very hard to [D]find [G]  G[D]D  
[D]She does her [G]best to make you [D]happy
< She always [G]does her very [D]best >
You do your [G]best to make her [D]blue
Buddy, [Bm]you've got it ma-[A]ade
[G]But you'd rather go and [G/F#]play
[Em]I know one thing for sure, if I were [A]you
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on, [D]hold on tight
[F#m]And make the [G]whole world know she's [A]mine
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on, [D]with all my might
 A[Em]love like hers is [A]very hard to [D]find [G]  G[D]D  
[D]She's always [G]there each time you [D]need her
< Each time you [G]need her she is [D]there >
She gives her [G]love so willing[D]ly
But you [Bm]just don't ca-[A]re
[G]You know that she'll be [G/F#]there
[Em]How I wish she'd felt that way about [A]me
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on, [D]hold on tight
[F#m]And make the [G]whole world know she's [A]mine
I would [Bm]hold on, hold on with, [D]all my might
A [Em]love like hers is [A]very hard to [D]find [G]  G[D]D  
[Bm]Hold [A]on, [G]hold [G]on  [D]D<>
