[Verse]
Bb
There are some folks I used to know
Cm
Who used to smile and say hello
F
And spin the world and turn the page
F
Entertaining from the stage
B
But father time forever true
Ab Cm
Loves its own and me and you
F
And disappear just like the sun
F Bb
When the day is done
F
The world is falling down, hold my hand
Cm F
It's a lonely sound, hold my hand
Gb Gm F Cm
We'll follow the breeze and go like the wind
F Bb
And look for a place where the willows bend
Bb Cm
Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand
F Bb
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Bb
Summer's gone and winter's here
Cm
We had a lot of rain this year
F
The news is really very sad
F
The time is late, the fruit is bad
Bb
The morning's come and roosters crow
Cm
But people have nowhere to go
F
And disappear just like the sun
F Bb
When the day is done
Bb Cm
The world is falling down, hold my hand
Fm Gb
It's a lonely sound, hold my hand
Gm Cm Ab
We'll follow the sun and live for the day
Cm Fm Bb
And look for a place where the children play
Bb Cm
Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand
F Bb
Hold my hand, hold my hand
Bb Cm
Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand
F Bb
Hold my hand, hold my hand
