Am                            Fmaj7  C       Em
Boy walks south down on the broken tracks
Am                   Fmaj7    C       Em
Father said, "my son come on back"
Am                      Fmaj7  C       Em
So much trouble I must leave behind
Am                         Fmaj7  C       Em
You can still do well, let me may remind

[Chorus 1]

 Am       Fmaj7  C       Em
Hold... hold     on
 Am       Fmaj7  C       Em
Hold... hold     on


[Verse 2]

Am                                  Fmaj7     C       Em
I've seen my eyes when they're clouded in dark
Am                           Fmaj7   C       Em
You call to your God like an old skylark
Am                          Fmaj7  C       Em
This will show us that the devil preys
Am                     Fmaj7  C       Em
I am counting down all of my days

[Chorus 2]

 Am       Fmaj7  C                            Em
Hold... hold     on,  I hold on yeah,  and I hold on
 Am       Fmaj7  C                          Em
Hold... hold     on,  Oh I hold on yeah,  I hold on

[Bridge]


Am           Fmaj7              C    Em
  I hold on now, oh I hold on, I...
Am           Fmaj7              C    Em
  I hold on now, oh I hold on, I...


[Chorus 3]

 Am       Fmaj7  C       Em
Hold... hold     on
 Am       Fmaj7  C
Hold... hold     on


Am  Fmaj7   C    Em   (x2)

Am       Fmaj7   C                                Em
Hold... hold     on, come on back my son, come on back my son
Am       Fmaj7   C                                Em
Hold... hold     on, before skies are grey and my day is done
Am       Fmaj7   C                                Em
Hold... hold     on, come on back my son, come on back
Am       Fmaj7   C                                Em
Hold... hold     on, before skies are grey and my day is done
