Standard (EADGBE)

The song:

Intro

 He gives another smile, tries to understand her side

 To show that he cares, she can't stay in the room

 She's consumed with everything that's been goin' on

She says

[Chrous]

 Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

 Everything will be alright, he assures her

But she doesn't hear a word that he says

 Preoccupied, she's afraid

 Afraid that what they're doing is not right

 He doesn't know what to say, so he prays

 Whatever, whatever, whatever

Chorus

 Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

 Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

 Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Santana guitar solo

D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the drums) x4

Don't let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand

 He's working day and night, thinks he'll make her happy

Forgetting all the dreams that he had

 He doesn't realize it's not the end of the world

It doesn't have to be that bad

 She tries to explain, "It's you that makes me happy,"

 Whatever, whatever, whatever

Chorus

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Santana guitar solo

D#m7....G#m (Strum the D#m7 with the drums)

Don't let go of my hand

Don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't you let go of my hand

Whatever happens, don't let go of my hand
