G - Gm - D - B7 - Em - A - D - A7 - - - A A7 D A A7 D I hold your hand in mine, dear, I press it to my lips, F# Bm E A - A7 I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips. A A7 D A A7 D - B7 My joy would be complete, dear, if you were only here, G Gm D B7 Em A D - A7 but still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir. Bb F C F The night you died I cut it off, I really don't know why, Bb F E E7 A - A7 for now each time I kiss it, I get blood stains on my tie. A A7 D A A7 D - D7 I'm sorry now I killed you, for our love was something fine, G Gm D B7 Em A D and 'til they come to get me, I shall hold your hand in mine.
