Intro: G 

D               Em         C                          G 
Sixteen days in Bethlehem, peddling dope and drinking wine 
D              Em           C                        G 
Pulling women, making gigs, steering clear and doing fine 
D                  Em       C                        G 
I moved on down to Galilee, trying to find a few new friends 
D                 Em          C                    G 
I'm throwing aces everywhere, trying to forget the end 


B             C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D  
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through 
Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D        G 
Hold me tight, I beg of you 


D                    Em         C                   G 
I'm cruising through Jerusalem, dust is flying everywhere 
D                    Em           C                    G 
I'm dodging bullets, making time, on the level, in the square 
D                        Em                  C                           G 
They say you kissed your best friend's hand, they say you did it for his love 
D                   Em     C                           G 
They say you got in agony, the hand fits well into the glove 


B             C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D  
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through 
Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D         
Hold me tight, I beg of you 


Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D  
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through 
Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D        G 
Hold me tight, I beg of you

Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D  
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through 
Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D         
Hold me tight, I beg of you 


Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D  
Hold me tight, I'm slipping through 
Em            C 
Hold me Lord, hold me Lord 
G              D        G  
Hold me tight, I beg of you
