Hold Your Ground James Keelaghan
CAPO: 2nd Fret
G N.C.
Somewhere inside my soul there is an echo of my youth
G N.C. G
Some pithy little saying that contained a grain of truth
If [C]patience is a virtue, persistence is its mark
It's [G]better to light a candle than to stand and curse the dark
But [D]if we stand together, we might [Am]turn this [G]world a[C]round
C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
In the [G]corridors of power, where our voice is seldom heard
The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word
For [C]us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts
To [G]notify the ship of state to bring its course about
But [D]if we pull together, we might [Am]turn this [G]ship a[C]round
C-G-D-G C-G-D-G C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
[Em]Oh___, this world is [C]chang[G]ing[Em]
Spinning out through sp[C]ace and time
[Em]Oh___, it's rear[C]rang[G]ing
[Am]All the things we thought were yours and [C]mine
You've got to [F]hold [C]your [G]ground
[Am]Hold [G]your [F]ground
Hold [C]your [G]ground
[Am]Hold [G]your [F]ground
Some[G]times it seems the motion is strictly retrograde
There are so many reversals of advances that you've made
The [C]things you thought were changing have shuddered to a halt
The [G]only view is forward when your back's against the wall
But [D]if we stand together we might [Am]turn this [G]world [C]around
C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
INSTRUMENTAL: Em C G Em C Em C G Am G C
You've got to [F]hold [C]your [G]ground
[Am]Hold [G]your [F]ground
Hold [C]your [G]ground
[Am]Hold [G]your [F]ground
It [G]isn'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 [C]must proceed from strength to strength, although the road is rough
And [G]sometimes human courage just isn't quite enough
But [D]if we stand together we might [Am]turn this [G]world [C]around
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
~ G C ~
Hold your ground
[Em]Oh, this world is [C]chang[G]ing
