HOLD ON I'M COMING  

by Isaac Hayes and David Porter

        Ab      B       Db      Ab

VERSE  (horns light fill)
                       Ab
        Well don't you ever
                Ab
        Ever be sad
                Ab
        Lean on me when 
                  Ab
        Times are bad
                 Db
        When the day comes 
                      Db        
        And you're in doubt,
                      Db
        In a river of trouble, 
                 Db
        About to drown.


CHORUS  (trombone holds root, trumpets play head)

               Ab
