Man Holding On To A Woman

• D

I play this in D.  I think that is where it is on the album.There is a 
lot of really nice sounding fiddle work on this song.   
                                                        D               
       A                D  
Two young lover's with their bodies on fire. 
D                           G               A 
Trying to swim that river of desire 
                                                        G               
          A                     Bm 
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes 
                                                        D               
     A                   D 
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
                                                                        
                                      D                              A  
                D 
There's a man with a bottle on the other side of town 
                                                        D              
G                     A 
Swimming in a memory that he can't drown 
                                                        G               
       A                 Bm 
And it ain't sunk in that she ain't coming home 
                                                        D               
     A                  D 
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
(Bridge) 
 
                                                        A               
  G         D          A 
His heart is telling him to hold on for dear life 
                                                        A           G   
             D                     Bm 
Deep down he knows she's letting go for good this time 
 
 
                                                         D              
   A                         D 
There's a father walking his daughter down the isle 
D                                 G              A 
Fighting back tears and forcing a smile 
G                        A                 Bm 
For 22 years he's watched her grow 
                                                        D               
   A                   D 
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
(violin solo) 
 
                                                        D               
        A              D 
In a Hill Valley home there's a feeble old man 
D                                  G              A 
And he's holding on to a fragile old hand 
                                                         G              
      A              Bm 
And the angels are coming to carry her home 
                                                        D               
      A                 D 
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
(Bridge) 
                                                        A               
        G           D          A 
His heart is telling him to hang on for dear life 
                                                        A          G    
            D                     Bm 
Deep down he knows she's letting go for good this time 
 
 
D                         A              D 
Two young lovers with their bodies on fire 
D                  G             A 
Trying to swim that river of desire 
                                                         G              
          A                     Bm 
Leaving innocence there on the bank by their clothes 
                                                         D              
A                  D 
It's a man holding on to a woman letting go 
 
                                                         D          A   
                        A            D 
It's a man holding on to a woman.....a woman letting go 
 
(Solo to end)
