*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

Verse 1

She's a

flower among the weeds, more beautiful than

any rose

I put the

creases in her shoes, she put the crinkle in my

nose

I'll have

wrinkles when I'm young, from all the laughing I su

ppose

And I'll h

old your heart forever, long after I pro

pose

Chorus

Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't

get the chance

Cherish every moment and all the time you've

spent

Cause this

life will all be over, but my love for you won

't end

So, I'll

hold her while I can, till the one day that I

get the chance again

Interlude

Verse 2

She's a

doll at 83, acting like we both just m

Remin

ding me of times, that I swore I'd not for

get

Now I'm

85 years old, alone, lying on this b

Missing the

sound of her voice and the three words that she

once said

Chorus

Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't

get the chance

Cherish every moment and all the time you've

spent

Cause this

life will all be over, but my love for you won

't end

So, I'll

hold her while I can, till the one day that I

get the chance again

Interlude

Chorus

Hold her while you can, cause someday you won't

get the chance

Cherish every moment and all the time you've

spent

Cause this

life will all be over, but my love for you won

't end

So, I'll

hold her while I can, till the one day that I

get the chance again
