Holding Things Together

Words and music by Merle Haggard

G       D7     G         

Holding Things Together

              G7       C   

Ain't no easy thing to do

                         G         

When it comes to raising children

                      D7    

It's a job  meant for two

G     D7       G         

Alice please believe me

           G7     C   

I can't go on and on

               G        D7 

Holding things together 

         G     

With you gone

          D7      G         

Today was Angie's birthday

           G7           C     

I guess it slipped your mind

                 G         

I tried twice to call you

                     D7     

But no answer either time

        G       D7        G        

But the postman brought a present

         G7        C    

I mailed some days ago

                           G     

I just signed it love from mama

   D7             G     

So Angie wouldn't know

Repeat #1 & 2
