Chords

*you can play either version of the intro, the tab is just a visual guide. The Dsus2 chord is also more accurate in the tab with the x-0-0-2-5-0 (emphasis on the 5 ie. high E to mimic the plucked guitar in the song) **Throughout the song, he uses the A Asus4 A Asus4 Dmaj7 D Dsus2 D Dmaj7 progression but to make it appear cleaner I just typed out A and D chords. The only time he plays the simple A and D progressions without the sus and maj7 chords is during the last chorus. In other words, an easy way of playing this song is just to use the chords A and D but a more fun way is to add all of the extra chords :) [Intro]

[Intro] A Asus4 A Asus4 A Dmaj7 D Dsus2 D Dmaj7 [Verse 1]
        A                                           D
She's a flower among the weeds, more beautiful than any rose

          A                                              D
I put the creases in her shoes, she put the crinkle in my nose

          A                                                  D
I'll have wrinkles when I'm young, from all the laughing I suppose

          A                                       D
And I'll hold your heart forever, long after I propose
[Chorus]
A                                               D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance

A                                            D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent

           A                                             D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end

         F#m                                           D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
[Interlude] A Asus4 A Asus4 A Dmaj7 D Dsus2 D Dmaj7 [Verse 2]
        A                                     D
She's a doll at 83, acting like we both just met

     A                                         D
Reminding me of times, that I swore I'd not forget

        A                                   D
Now I'm 85 years old, alone, lying on this bed

            A                                               D
Missing the sound of her voice and the three words that she once said
[Chorus]
A                                               D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance

A                                            D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent

           A                                             D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end

         F#m                                           D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
[Interlude] A D A D [Chorus]
A                                               D
Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't get the chance

A                                            D
Cherish every moment and all the time you've spent

           A                                             D
Cause this life will all be over, but my love for you won't end

         F#m                                           D
So, I'll hold her while I can, till the one day that I get the chance again
