Hold Back The River - James May
Dm F Bb F
Ooh oho, oho, oho,
Bb F C
Oho, oho, ohooh
Dm F Bb F
Tried to keep you close to me,
Bb F C
But life got in between
Dm F Bb F
Tried to square not being there
Bb F C
But think that I should have been
[Chorus]
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
F C
Hold back the river, hold back
Dm F Bb F
Once upon a different life
Bb F C
We rode our bikes into the sky
Dm F Bb F
But now we crawl against the tide
Bb F C
Those distant days are flashing by
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
C
Hold back the river, hold back
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
C
Hold back the river, hold back
Dm F Bb F
Ooh oho, oho, oho,
Bb F C
Oho, oho, ohooh

Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Gm
Let us hold each other

Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Gm
Let us hold each other
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
C
Hold back the river, hold back
Bb
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
F
Can stop for a minute and be by your side

Hold back the river, ooh

Let us hold each other
