Lou Reed - Hold On - New York Album chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [D] Ha [A] ha ha ha!
Bwuh!
[D] Bwoooo!
[A]
Awww!
[D] [A]
[D] [A] Bwoooo!
There's blacks with knives and whites with clubs,
[D] fighting in [A] Hell Beach.
There's no such thing as [D] human rights,
when you walk the New [A] York streets.
A cop was shot in the head by a ten year old kid [D] named
Hooten Central Park [A] last week.
Old fathers and [D] daughters lined up by the coffins by the statue of [A] bigotry.
Hey, you better hold [G] on!
Bwoooo!
[A] Something's happening here.
You better hold, hold [Bm] on!
Or I'll [G] meet you atop [A] the scratch.
The dope had sent a message to the cops last [D] week,
and they shot him in the car where he [A] sat.
And Eleanor Bump is [D] Michael Stewart.
Must have [A] appreciated that.
There's a rampaging [F#m] rage rising up like a [D] plague of bloody violence rushing up on the [A] beach.
It'll take more than the angels for [D] I and Mike Tyson to heal this [A] bloody breach.
Hey, hey, you better hold [D] on!
Something's [A] happening here.
You better hold [Bm] [G] on!
I'm gonna meet you in [A] Thompson Square.
A junkie ran down a lady of [D] pregnant dance.
I shouldn't have a dance, but the [A] baby was saved.
He shot up some China white and nodded [D] at the wheel,
and he doesn't remember a thing.
[A]
They shot that old lady cause they [D] thought she was a witness to a crime she [A] didn't even see.
Whose home is the home [D] of the brave by the statue of [A] bigotry.
Hey, you better hold [D] on!
Something's [A] happening here.
You better hold [D] on!
There's a riot in [A] Thompson Square.
You got a black 38 and a [D] gravity knife.
Still have to [A] ride the train.
There's a smelly essence of New [D] York down there, but you ain't no [A] Bernard Goetz.
There's no mafia lawyer to fight in your [D] corner for that 15 [A] minutes of fame.
The have and have nots are [F#m] bleeding in the [D] tub.
That's New York's future, [A] not mine.
You better hold [Bm] on!
[D] [A] Something's happening here.
You better hold [Bm] on!
[D] Again, [G] something's [A] happening here.
Hold on!
[Bm] [G] [D] Ooh, baby.
