I must be strong and carry on

] Bm ]E7sus E7 ] A E/G# ]
Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

] F#m A ] D E7sus E7] A ]

Would you hold my hand, if I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand, if I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
`Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.

Fingerpick it [2 beats per pattern].
There are a couple of places where achord
only gets 1 beat -Just squeeze the chord
pluck the 4 strings simultaneously.


Finger both the E/G# and the C#/E# chords in a open D chord shape
with the thumb wrapped around to the 6th string. Like this:

C#/E# The E/G# is the same thing played at the
--X-X------ 4th fret
T ] ] 1 ] 2

] ] ] ] 3 ]
Chorus:
