The Chords.
The Intro riff goes with these chords.
Verse 1.
()
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet
()
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies
()
I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach,
But I ain't giving up quite yet,
I've got too much to lose,
Chorus.
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, and i'll carry you home.
("Intro Riff, and chords played again")
Verse 2.
()
The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
()
The wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise
()
She said, when that day comes look into my eyes
But no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose,
Chorus.
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, and i'll carry you,
all the way
When you say you're fine
But you're still young and out of line,
When all I need's to turn around
To make it last, to make it count,
I ain't gonna make the same mistakes
That put my mama in her grave
Am F C Em7 -[Spread through that one word]
I don't wanna be alone.
Chorus.
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,
Hold me down, sweet and low little girl
Hold me down, and i'll carry you home.
"Intro Riff and chords again"
And then end with a " C " chord (one strum).
