D                        G 
I held her dearly on the front lawn. 
D                        G 
My shirt was found on the hard wood floor. 
         D           C         G  
I can't hear their voice any longer. 
            D                C 
I killed my king, can't get rid of the queen. 
 
Em                D 
Hold on, hold on silver boy. 
Em                 D 
Hold on, hold on silver boy. 
 
This must really be the basement, 
completely swept off the rest of the house. 
The street is just a missile of faces 
I don't want to meet. 
 
Em                 D 
Hold on, hold on silver boy. 
Em                   D 
I might just leave a joyful song, 
     C         G   
to get far away, 
     C         G 
to get far away. 
            C                 G 
When the darkness coming closer, 
            D                  C 
I'm glad to see that wrinkle at your eye. 
 
D                        G 
She was mine for over 4 years. 
D                        G 
Now I got to help her move out our old flat. 
    D           C         G  
I'm not a property, I'm my own, 
           D                C 
I see them rise, you see me go. 
 
Em                D 
Hold on, hold on silver boy. 
Em                 D 
Hold on, hold on silver boy. 
 
      C                    G 
My soul will try to live on 
      C            G 
white faces' parade. 
      C            G 
As they sung hallelujah,
