I Hold Your Hand In Mine
G - Gm - D - B7 - Em - A - D - A7 - - -
A A7 D A A7 D
I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips,
F# Bm E A - A7
I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips.
A A7 D A A7 D - B7
My joy would be complete, dear, if you were only here,
G Gm D B7 Em A D - A7
but still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir.
Bb F C F
The night you died I cut it off, I really don't know why,
Bb F E E7 A - A7
for now each time I kiss it, I get blood stains on my tie.
A A7 D A A7 D - D7
I'm sorry now I killed you, for our love was something fine,
G Gm D B7 Em A D
and 'til they come to get me, I shall hold your hand in mine.
