[Intro]
(3/4 time)
Bb Bbm F D7 Gm C7 F C

[Verse 1]
  Gm        C7      F
I hold your hand in mine, dear
  Gm7      C7    F   Am
I press it to my lips
  A7             Dm
I take a healthy bite
          G7            C    C7     
From your dainty finger tips

[Verse 2]
   Cm7       C     F
My joy would be complete, dear
   Gm       C7   F   D7
If you were only here
    Gm                F
But still I keep your hand
D7   Gm       C7   F
As a precious souvenir

[Bridge]
    Db               Ab
The night you died I cut it off
  Eb7               Ab
I really don't know why
    Db              Ab
For now each time I kiss it
      G7                C   C7
I get bloodstains on my tie

[Verse 3]
    Gm7   C7    F
I'm sorry now I killed you
        G7       C7         F    F7
For our love was something fine
    Bb        Bbm     F
And till they come to get me
D7      Gm        C7      F
I shall hold your hand in mine

(Tom doesn't do this, at least not in the version I was working off of, but I think repeating the intro/ last two lines as an outro might be an idea).
