G    D     Em  C    
Hold tight Geraldine
  G       D          G    C G
I need to say what I mean
G           D       Em         C   
Time’s gone by for so long and I’ve
G            D                G    C G
Seen all the wrongs that I’ve done
-
G             D         
Since we have yelled and
Em          C   
stomped our feet
      G        D          G    C G
after you took me in your arms
-
G        D        Em        C   
Cut from you near death you drew
    G           D       G   C G
the breath that made me one
-
D C        G                  D   
And I must call on your sweet soul
       C             D    
in the times when we walk
   G          C    
in shadows of sorts
  C           D          G   C G
I cherish the mother you are

G    D     Em  C    
Hold tight Geraldine
  G       D          G    C G
I mean to say what I mean
-
   G     D  
Oh I owe you
        Em           C  
For the stars in the sky
        G         
And the breath
          D         G   C G
that was life of my own
-
D C        G                  D
And I must call on your sweet soul
       C             D   
in the times when we walk
   G          C   
in shadows of sorts

I cherish the mother you are
