Thomas Alan Waits (7 de dezembro de 1949) é um músico, instrumentista, compositor, cantor e actor norte-americano. Sua voz grossa e rouca e suas letras por vezes esquisitas e intrigantes, marcam a personalidade de sua música. Sendo ativo por mais de quatro décadas, Waits possuí uma considerável obra, constituída de quase 30 álbuns (incluindo álbuns de estúdio, compilações e álbuns ao vivo), e mais de 50 participações diretas (como ator) e indiretas (compondo trilhas sonoras) em filmes.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

[INTRO]
E x4 (Throw a Esus4 in every now and then)
[VERSE 1]
EA They hung a sign up in our town BE "If you live it up, you won't live it down" EA So she left Monte Rio, son BEE Just like a bullet leaves a gun AB With her charcoal eyes and Monroe hips EA She went and took that California trip F#mB Well the moon was gold, her hair like wind F#mBB She said don't look back, just come on Jim
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 2]
EA Well he gave her a dime store watch BE And a ring made from a spoon EA Everyone's looking for someone to blame BEE If you share my bed you share my name AB Well go ahead and call the cops EAA You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops F#mB --She said baby I still love you F#mBB Sometimes there's nothing left to do
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, --you gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 3]
EA Well god bless your crooked little heart BE St. Louis got the best of me EA I miss your broken china voice BEE How I wish you were still here with me AB Well you build it up and wreck it down EAA Then you burn your mansion to the ground F#mB When there's nothing to keep you here F#mBB When you're falling behind in this big blue world
[CHORUS]
EBEA Oh you got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBEE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
[VERSE 4]
EA Down by the Riverside Motel BE It's 10 below and falling EA By a 99 cent store BEE She closed her eyes and started swaying AB But it' so hard to dance that way EAA When it's cold and there's no music F#mB Well your old home town's so far away F#mBB But inside your head there's a record that's playing
[CHORUS]
EBEA A song called Hold On, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on EBEA You got to hold on, hold on, baby gotta hold on EBE Take my hand, I'm standing right here, you gotta hold on
