Hold Your Hand Hold Your Heart Tab

by De Capulet


So I love De Capulet, and these chords are a pretty simple version of the song. It's 
the same the whole way through, but I'm going to write it all down so it's easier to read.

Intro: (We can call it RIFF 1)
       (x4)

Then we'll call this RIFF 2:
                
Don't strum, just strum straight down.

Play RIFF 2 (x2)

VERSE:

 (hold)
I stood at the edge of the sea
                                            
I pretended to be somebody you couldn't leave
                   
 (strum straight down like riff 2)
The sun fell inside of my eyes
                                  
I was very surprised to find that love is a right

RIFF 2 (repeat through section)
Not a privelege, not a chore
And as the sea struck the shore
I came upon a fact that I just couldn't ignore
Love is like a bike that I am learning to ride
Maybe with practice and time, I will get to you


CHORUS:

                   
I wanna hold your hand
                   
So I can hold your heart (x2)
                                
Our love, our love, is gonna be alright
                               
We've got to be honest from the start
     (hold)
So come on baby and let me hold your hand
                    
So I can hold your heart


 (hold)
S stands for opposite sex

And as she starts to undress
                    
The M it stands for the mess that commenced at her feet

(RIFF 2)
The I inside of believe swept me off of my feet and it made me think
If L and E were flown atop a high-flying kite string,
Would they make it to the edge of the sea?

 (hold)                        (hold)
Love is like a song that I am learning to sing
 (hold)             (hold)
On the first day of spring
                     
Won't you sing with me?

CHORUS

N.C.                                RIFF 2
And love, love isn't only something we do
N..
Love, love for me is looking at you, ooh
RIFF 2
And I know you need to know my love is true
And I know (x3) how I can prove it to you


(Hey Jude-esque "screams" at this part...optional?)

CHORUS

RIFF 2
Our love, our love, our love is gonna be alright
(repeat and freestyle if you want)

Play RIFF 2 again
       (hold last one)
