Hold Your Ground by James Keelaghan
Hold Your Ground
Capo: 2nd fret
## NOTE: ~ = Walk-down from C ##
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
C
If patience is a virtue, persistence is its mark
G
It's better to light a candle than to stand and curse the dark
D Am G C
But if we stand together, we might turn this world around
C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
G
In the corridors of power, where our voice is seldom heard
The status quo is what they want, they can get it with a word
C
For us it takes a thousand voices, a million angry shouts
G
To notify the ship of state to bring its course about
D Am G C
But if we pull together, we might turn this ship around
C-G-D-G C-G-D-G C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
Em C G Em
Oh___, this world is changing
C
Spinning out through space and time
Em C G
Oh___, it's rearranging
Am C
All the things we thought were yours and mine
F C G
You've got to hold your ground
Am G F
Hold your ground
C G
Hold your ground
Am G F
Hold your ground
G
Sometimes it seems the motion is strictly retrograde
There are so many reversals of advances that you've made
C
The things you thought were changing have shuddered to a halt
G
The only view is forward when your back's against the wall
D Am G C
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
C-G-D-G C ~
Hold your ground__
INSTRUMENTAL: Em C G Em C Em C G Am G C
F C G
You've got to hold your ground
Am G F
Hold your ground
C G
Hold your ground
Am G F
Hold your ground
G
It 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
C
You must proceed from strength to strength, although the road is rough
G
And sometimes human courage just isn't quite enough
D Am G C
But if we stand together we might turn this world around
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
Hold your ground (Hold your ground)
~ G C ~
Hold your ground
Em C G
Oh, this world is changing
