 G     D    G3          Csus                  D     Dsus
Oh, my soul, sometimes we don't know what to do

             Em           D             Csus
We work so hard at being tough on our own

             G           D
but now it's me and you

           G       D       G3
Let's give it up, sad bones

            Csus                 D      Dsus
'cause we are following hard times

             Em             D          Csus
but you don't have to stand up all alone

             G            D
just put your hands in mine

CHORUS:

             G        D        C3
Climb on........

               Csus     D
a back that's strong

                G                     D
yeah,    you can get what you want

climb on a back that's strong

               G            	 D       G3
If you could save me a place in heaven

           Csus                D     Dsus
with a clean well lighted room

         Em        D       Csus
I'd muscle up to armegeddon

              G                  D
Wave to you darlin'......be home soon

               G           D          G3
If you could show me the story of love

          Csus                 D     Dsus
I would write it again and again

       Em                        D         Csus
and then you could be.................the women you need

      		 G                         D
If you'd just let me be................ the man that I am

sometimes we try to hard to see

                  Em                       D                Csus
but we've got one down...........and one more to go

              G              D
that's when you say...............to me

CHORUS  3X Fade
