[INTRO]
G
[Verse]
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
[CHORUS]
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
