HOLD THE LINE (Toto)
(transcription by Tilman Heckel )
Am7 Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Bbm7
It's not in the way that you hold me,
Am7 Bm7 Em7 Bm7 Bbm7
it's not in the way you say you care
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7 Bm7 Bbm7
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7 Bm7 Bbm7
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7 D7
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Chorus (2x):
Em G/H C6/g D
Hold the line,
Dsus D Em G/H C6/g D Dsus D
love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Chorus
(Instrumental break - sorry, no chords for that so far)
It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Chorus - love isn't always on time
Hold the line, love isn't always on time -
love isn't always, love isn't always on time
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
#1: The rhythm is a straight 6/8 throughout, but sometimes they play it
like a 3/4. The accents are as follows (somehow. Listen to the song
and you'll figure it out):
Verse:
ONE two three FOUR five six [3x and then:] ONE two THREE four FIVE six
|Am7 . . . . . |Bm7 . . . . . |Em7 . . . . .|Em7 . Bm7 . Bbm7 .|
Chorus:
|Em . . . . . |G/H . C6/g . . .|D . . . . . |Dsus . . D . . |
#2: The voicing is for playing it with a single (acoustic) guitar. If you
have a band, however, you don't have to play all the notes yourself ;-)
