#CHORUS
#CAPO: 1st FRET KEY: Bb PLAY: A AEA
HOLDING THINGS TOGETHER A7D
Ain't no easy thing to do A
When it comes to raisin' children E
It's a job - meant for two AEA
Alice please be-lieve me A7D
I can't go on and on AE
Holding things together A
With you gone.
EA
Today was Angie's birthday A7D
I guess it slipped your mind A
I tried twice to call you E
But no answer either time AEA
But the postman brought a present A7D
I mailed some days ago A
I just signed it love from mama EA
So Angie wouldn't know.
CHORUS
Alice please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
