Holly

Capo On 3



C                                                  Am

Holly was the kind of girl the cameras liked

                     C                                                           Am

She could play the part of poet that's kept behind the mic

         C                                                                            Am

And whilst i've always dreamed of making it in Hollywood

                       C                                                                Am

I know that if she'd had a second chance then Holly could

F                                          C

And i did all that i could to help

F                                                 C

Yeah i've done all that i can to help



C                                                                            Am

By the time that she was twenty she had driven insane

               C                                                                    Am

On her way back out she crashed straight into crack cocaine

                               C                                              Am

And whilst i'd never once condemed i did not agree

                      C                                                Am

That's why i think Holly fell to fall in love with me



F                                          C

But i did all that i could to help

F                                                C

Yeah i've done all that i can to help

    Am                                 F

I layed down my anchor

C                                           G

and i said let's make a stand

                            F                 G

'Cause i'm leaving only when 

                                 C

i've done all that i can





             C                                                                     Am

She cleaned her act up burnt her shackles and chains

                        C                                                            Am

And she rid herself of men who used their fists for their brains

                      C                                                             Am

And she cotched upon a couch within the neighbors' space

                         C                                                       Am

Til she'd saved enough to pay the lease on her own place



F                                          C

But i did all that i could to help

F                                                C

Yeah i've done all that i can to help



       C                                                  Am

She used to brush past all the students of art

                                 C                                                     Am

She said they're masters of their craft but i am far too smart

                     C                                           Am

And i've always fancied studying humanitites

                C                                                         Am

And she passed with first-class honours in philosophy



F                                          C

But i did all that i could to help

F                                                C

Yeah i've done all that i can to help



    Am                                 F

I layed down my anchor

C                                           G

and i said let's make a stand

                            F                 G

'Cause i'm leaving only when 

                                 C

i've done all that i can



        C                                                    Am

A car was being naughty down a one-way street

                      C                                                                       Am

And it crushed her brittle bones right from her head to her feet

                    C                                                Am

And as i knelt over her body and i prayed to god

                 C                                                Am

I lost faith in everything that ever has been oh



F                                          C

But i did all that i could to help

F                                                C

Yeah i've done all that i can to help



    Am                                 F

I layed down my anchor

C                                           G

and i said let's make a stand

                            F                 G

'Cause i'm leaving only when 

                                 C
