James Keelaghan - Hold Your Ground
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-down from  C##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
        GN.C.
Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youth
          GN.C.                                          G  
Some pithy little saying that contained a grain of truth
If Cpatience is a virtue, persistence is its mark
It's Gbetter to light a candle than to stand and curse the dark
But Dif we stand together, we might Amturn this Gworld aCround  
          C-G-D-   G   C~
Hold your ground__
In the Gcorridors of power, where our voice is seldom heard
The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word
For Cus it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts
To Gnotify the ship of state to bring its course about
But Dif we pull together, we might Amturn this Gship aCround
          C-G-D-   G  C-G-D-   G  C-G-D-   G   C~
Hold your ground__
EmOh___, this world is CchangGingEm  
Spinning out through spCace and time
EmOh___, it's rearCrangGing
AmAll the things we thought were yours and Cmine
You've got to Fhold Cyour Gground
AmHold Gyour Fground
Hold Cyour Gground
AmHold Gyour Fground
SomeGtimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde
There are so many reversals of advances that you've made
The Cthings you thought were changing have shuddered to a halt
The Gonly view is forward when your back's against the wall
But Dif we stand together we might Amturn this Gworld Caround
          C-G-D-   G   C~
Hold your ground__
INSTRUMENTAL:   Em    C    G    Em    C    Em    C    G    Am    G  C  
You've got to Fhold Cyour Gground
AmHold Gyour Fground
Hold Cyour Gground
AmHold Gyour Fground
It Gisn't for the faint of heart to bet when odds are long
And neither is it easy to be right in face of wrong
You Cmust proceed from strength to strength, although the road is rough
And Gsometimes human courage just isn't quite enough
But Dif we stand together we might Amturn this Gworld Caround
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
             ~     G   C~ 
Hold your ground
EmOh, this world is CchangGing

If patience is a virtue, persistence is its mark

It's better to light a candle than to stand and curse the dark

But if we stand together, we might turn this world around

C G D G C

Hold your ground__

In the corridors of power, where our voice is seldom heard

The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word

For us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts

To notify the ship of state to bring its course about

But if we pull together, we might turn this ship around
