  			Hold The Line – Rod Stewart 
From the album “Another Country” 
Tabbed by Roj Vincent 

Intro:  C   Em   Am   F 

C                        Em 
Hold on we just have to hold on 
                 Am              F 
We don't have to cry, no not tonight 
        C                       Em 
I know lately everything seems crazy 
               Am              F 
People walking by just getting by 
    C                      G 
And I just wanna rest my head 
     C                         Am 
And lay down with roses on our bed 
     Dm   C          G 
They say heaven can wait 
        F            G 
You and I, we'll survive 
                 C 
Sometimes we're lost and astray 
         Em                      Am 
And the hope far away, hold the line 
          F 
We'll survive 
               C 
So let's just smile through the rain 
              Am 
Through the heartache and pain 
          Am            F 
Hold the line we'll survive 
          C 
We'll Survive 
Em                       Am 
Hold the line (Hold the line) 
          F 
We'll survive (Hold the line) 

C                          Em 
Slow down we just have to slow down 
                Am            F 
Now’s becoming fast, way too fast 
         C                     Em 
Another grey day, technicolour save me 
                Am            F 
Paint it in the sky, we're alive 
    Dm      C             G 
And I just wanna rest my head 
     C             G            Am 
And lay down with roses in our bed 
     Dm   C           G 
They say heaven can wait 
        F            G 
You and I, we'll survive 
                 C 
Sometimes we're lost and astray 
         Em 
And the hope far away 
          Am            F 
Hold the line we'll survive 
                C 
So let's just smile through the rain 
              Em         
Through the heartache and pain 
          Am            F 
Hold the line we'll survive 
          C 
We'll survive 
               Em 
La   la   la   la   la   la 
          Am 
Hold the line 
          F 
We'll survive 
               C 
La   la   la   la   la   la   
               Em 
La   la   la   la   la   la 
          Am 
Hold the line

Hold the line, we'll survive 
          C        Em 
We'll survive, oh yeah 
          Am 
Hold the line
