Hi Greg, here's Holding My Own by the GREAT Lee Roy Parnell.[ Please use Courier to get proper

too sure of the key so I have indicated D as a possible optionable key. 


I'M HOLDING MY OWN    (by Lee Roy Parnell)


Intro: [C] [Dm7] [C] [F]
       [D] [Em7] [D] [G] {if in the Key of D}


You said the [C]only thing harder
             [D]
than [DM7]saying goodbye
     [Em7]
Was [C]saying hello after [F]all this time

But I [C]ran into you with your [DM7]new love in tow

you [C]say youâve worried Îbout ne

And [F]you want to know

[DM7]How am I getting [C]by [F] [C] [G7]
                                    [A7]

Well thank you Iâm [F]holding my own

[C]Donât you worry Îbout me no [DM7]more [C] [G7]

It hurt me when you [F]left me alone

But [C]thereâs two sides to every [DM7]door [G7]

And the [F]life you left be[C]hind has led

to [F]lives Iâd have never [C]known [G7] [C] [F]

[C]So thank you Iâm holding my [F]own [C] [F]
      [C] [G7] [C] [F] (pause)......


Your new love [C]walked on up

while we [DM7]said goodbye

You [C]took my hand and you [F]caught my eye

Tell me [C]thereâs a chance for a[DM7]nother try

[C]You would love to hear from me

[F]some sweet time

I [DM7]guess you didnât under[C]stand [F] [C[] [G7]


Chorus


Thereâs a [G7]lesson I learned [C] [F]

When a [G7]love stays true [C] [F]

If you [G7]look long enough [C] [F]

Youâll [G7]find the one who was [C]looking for [F]you [DM7] [G7]


Chorus

Thank you Iâm [F]holding my own [C] [DM7] [G7]  [F] [C] ....
