#CAPO: 1st FRET  KEY: Bb  PLAY: A
A E A HOLDING  THINGS  TOGETHER
A7 D Ain't no easy  thing to  do
A When it comes to raisin'  children
E It's a job - meant for  two
A E A Alice  please be-lieve me
A7 D I can't go  on and  on
A E Holding things  together
A With you  gone.

E A Today was  Angie's  birthday
A7 D I guess it  slipped your  mind
A I tried twice to  call you
E But no answer either  time
A E A But the  postman  brought a  present
A7 D I mailed some   days  ago
A I just signed it love from  mama
E A So  Angie wouldn't  know.

CHORUS

Alice please believe me
I can't go on and on
Holding things together
With you gone.
