Hold My Name
originally by Ocie Elliott
Hold My Name - Ocie Elliott
Capo 2
Travis Pick, upbeat pluck, folk swing (Csus4 and walk down to get into verses)
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
In the morning cold, you do wake up slow
G (2) (3) C
And I get up quick, make the kettle click
G (2) (3) C
And I know I do sometimes annoy you
F (2) (3) C
But you know it's true, that I adore you
G (2) (3) C
[Chorus]
Would you rub my back, if I sang you to sleep
E Am F C
Would you hold my name, like you hum so sweet
E Am F C
Would you keep me up, if gravity's not enough
E Am F C
Will you be there 'till the end, I know that I will
E Am F (1) C
[Verse 2]
When you go away, I gotta go and play
G (2) (3) C
'Till the end of day, 'till I hit the hay
G (2) (3) C
'Cause when I'm alone, and you aren't home
F (2) (3) C
I'm a lonely one, always on the run
G (2) (3) C
[Chorus]
Would you rub my back, if I sang you to sleep
E Am F C
Would you hold my name, like you hum so sweet
E Am F C
Would you keep me up, if gravity's not enough
E Am F C
Will you be there 'till the end, I know that I will
E Am F (1) C
Mmmm... I know that I will
G F (1) C
