intro: (chords through riff) A......D E

A F#m

You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends

A F#m

Spin in the middle when the troubles begin

D E

Take it nice and easy and always pretend

D E

That you're cool, so cool, so cool

A F#m

Say I'm alone and I'm wild and I will not be tamed

A F#m

Talk like a jerk or an educated brain

D E

Be an old girl drivin' the young boys insane

D E

Be a joker, a preacher, it does not matter

Chorus:

A F#m

Every one needs a hand to hold on to

A F#m

Every one needs a hand to hold on to

D E

Don't need to be no strong hand

D E

Don't need to be no rich hand

D E A

Every one just needs a hand to hold on to

repeat intro

A F#m

Havin' good luck with your financial situation

A F#m

Play the ponies, be president of the United Nations

D E

Go to work and be a Hollywood stud

D E

Drive your four-wheel drive right into the mud, yeah

(repeat chorus)

A F#m A

And then those hours when you're alone

F#m A

And there's no body there except yourself

F#m A

I know it, you wanna pick up the phone

D

And say, "Talk to me, talk to me

E

Somebody please talk to me"

yeah...ah...ah...ahhh

instrumental: (verse chords)

Oh, yeah...ah

(repeat chorus 3 times)
