_ [D] _ The _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ sun was going down [G] over Edward Park
_ [D] When Raven hair [G] glowing in the dark
[D] And that's when the fever would [G] rise
[D] _ It caught what a look in her [G] eyes
From [A] the moment that she blows out [G] the light
We'd [A] be lost in the [D] forever [G] night
[Bm] Hold back [D] the dawn, _ _ [G] _ _
hold back [D] the dawn
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] Won't you raise up your hand [G] and [D] hold back the dawn
I [G] _ _
_ [D] _ dreamt if I could lay you [G] upon this pitter's floor
[D] And we may break the rules [G] but we don't break the law
[D] I'd come across but the river's too [G] wide
I'd come [D] across but the river's [G] too high
_ [A] And over by the fountain where [G] we meet _
_ [A] I will lay [D] silver roses at [G] your feet
Hold back [D] the dawn, _ _ [G] _ _
hold back [D] the dawn
_ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] Won't you raise up your hand [G] and _ [D] hold back the dawn
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Em] Now I have seen a painting, [G] old and hanging in a frame
[C] And that painting was of you, [G] [D] now how can you [Em] explain
From another place and time, [G] not many years ago
[C] Why I'm haunted by [G] this vision, [Am] guess we'll never know
[G] _ [D] And then she turned and whispered in [Am] my ear
[G] And you feel my heartbeat _
Hold back the dawn, _ _ _ _ hold back the dawn
Won't [C] _ _
_ [G] you raise up your hand [C] _
and hold [G] back the dawn
Lay [C] your arms and [G] go on _ _ _ _
_ Won't you raise, _ won't you raise up
Won't you raise up your hand [A] and [Bm] hold [G] back the dawn
_ [C] Hold _ _ [G] back the dawn
Won't [C] _ _
_ [G] you raise up your hand [C] _
[G] and hold back the dawn
_ _ [Am] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Lay [G] your arms and go on
[C] Won't _
_ [G] _ _ you _ [Am] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ raise [C] up your hand and hold _ _ [G] back _ _ [C] the dawn
Lay your arms _ [G] and go on
[Dm] Hold back [G] the dawn
_ Hold _ [C] back the dawn
_ [G] _ _ Hold [C] back the dawn
Hold back the [G] dawn
Stay on [C] that
Stay on [G] that
Home
