       PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE    Tracy Byrd

D#              A#          G#
He sat upon the bed and he watched me packing  
(G#)                           D# A#
He already knew I was leaving 
D#                                    G#
I took what I needed but I sure left a     lot still hanging
     D#                               A#  
I figured I'd get it come the weekend     He said
  G#                        A#                      D#           
"Daddy, when you get there are you gonna have a refrigerator."
G#                     A#               D#
I kind of laughed and said, "I guess I will."
         G#                         A#                     D#
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand  On the back of a piece of paper
       G#                        A#
And a magnet and my heart stood still when he said

CHORUS:
          D#          G#                A#  
Put your hand in mine And I'll be there anytime
G#                           Cm 
When it feels like you could use a friend
(Cm)                      A#
I'll be there to lift you up again
G#                           A#                         D#
You can reach out to me any-time  And put your hand in mine


D#                   A#                    G# 
But I drove past the Harton Baptist church
(G#)                                      A#
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
D#                                     G#
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
(G#)                     A#                  G#           A#
When I heard the chapel bell and it took me back another life ago
          D#             G#                             Eb
When our hearts were open Oh back when we could still a-gree
G#               A#               D#            
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and 
G#                           A#
  You and I got down on our knees and said

Go to Chorus

G#               Cm             G#
I couldn't even stay away one night
Db                              Cm
I noticed that you left on the light
D#                            Cm 
And I've only got one thing to say
(Cm)               G#                    G#       
If you're not too tire and it's not too late   go to ending

ENDING:
          D#          Ab                A#  
Put your hand in mine And I'll be there anytime
  Ab                                     A#                        D#
Would you reach out to me just one more time And put your hand in mine
  Ab                                     A#                         D#
Would you reach out to me just one more time  And put your hand in mine
