1.I was
|D |A |G | |D |
travelling on a lonely road Going someplace I dunno The way ahead was
|A |Em |G |D |A |
bleak and getting dark Was it something in the sky above Or
|G | |D |A |Em |G |
something in the broken scrub That made me sudden-ly think of you 2.The
|Bm |G |D |A |F#m |
memory of your face so sweet and that awful day I had to leave I can't help the
|G |D |A |Bm |G |
tears that fill my eyes This weight inside my heart Tells how
|D |A |F#m |G |A |
we've been split a-part And God knows it gets heavier every day
| |C |G |A |NC |D |
Every day There's only one way
|A |Em |G |D |A |
home for me from here And I'm looking at you straight down through these
|Em |G |D |A |Bm |
years I can see your happy smiling face And something tells me that it's
|G |D |A |G |D |
not too late And I'll be holding holding you in my arms
|Bm |G |D |A |
3.I never wanted to give you up but what's done is done let the past be gone
|F#m |G |D |A |Bm |
I can't change what happened or bring back the time we missed You may think I
|G |D |A |F#m |
left you behind but each day I carried you in my mind And all the time that I
|G |Em | |C |
drifted around I was just getting nearer to you I was just getting nearer to
|G |A |NC |D |A |
you When I'll be holdin holdin holdin you in my
|Em |G |D |A |Em |
arms I'll be holdin you and nothing will keep us a-part
|G |D |A |Bm |
I can see your happy smiling face And something tells me every-
|G |D |A |G |
thing's in place And I'll be holding holding you in my arms
|D |D |A |Em |G |D |A |
|Em |G |D |A |Bm |G |D |
|A |G |D |Bm |G |D |
4.All the years I waited trying to get in touch with
|A |F#m |G |D |A |
you Wondering if you'd still remember Wondering if you knew But
|Bm |G |D |A |F#m |
always one thing certain I never gave up hope for us That one day we'd
|G |Em | | | |
be together and that day is coming up That
|C | |G |A |NC |D |
day is coming up When I'll be holding holding
|A |Em |G |D |A |
holding you in my arms I'm holding you and nothing can keep us a-
|Em |G |D |A |
part I'm coming on down to the old front gate I can
|Bm |G |D |A |
see you there with your smiling face And I'm back here holding you in my
|G |D |D |A |Em |
arms Yes I'm holding holding holding you in my arms little
|G |D |A |Em |G |
darling I'm holding you and nothing can keep us a-part I can
|D |A |Bm |G |D |
see you crying tears of joy And all I can say is boy oh boy I'm so happy to be
|A |C |G |D |A |C |
holding you in my arms In my arms in my arms With you at last in my
|G |D |A |G |C |D ||
arms I'm so happy to be holding you in my arms
