The Hands Your Holding Now
Marty Robbins


F                                      Bb 
The hands you're holding now, if you remember
              F                              C 
Are the very hands that gave you your first rose
  F                                      Bb
They're reachin' out for one last dyin' ember
         C                                 F
In the ashes of the love that's lost it's glow

F                                          Bb
But, if you don't want me, I won't try to keep you
              F                                   C
But, there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong, 

so wrong, so wrong
  F                                 Bb
Until you sure, I hope you'll never let go
        C                                     F
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long

F                                      Bb 
I can't forget the first time that I kissed you
           F                           C 
It's the sweetest feelin' I have ever known
      F                                  Bb
But every dream, they say, must have an ending
          C                                    F
And you leave the hands you're holding for so long

G                                          C
But, if you don't want me, I won't try to keep you
              G                                   D
But, there's just the smallest chance you may be wrong, 

so wrong, so wrong
  G                                  C
Until you sure, I hope you'll never let go
         D                                    G
Of the hands that you've been holding for so long
