Am   
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
   F7   
 
No sweet surrender will I see 
 
                Am   
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
      E7   
 
I'm bound to you and everything I 
 
F7 (2)

                Am  E7                 Am   
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
  
 
                   Am   
 
And there's a world, gonna set me free 
 
This-a world, gonna set me free 
 
     F7   
 
No streets of glory will I see 
 
                Am   
 
This-a world, gonna set me free 
 
      E7   
 
No pearly gates on my dyin' day, 
 
       F7   
 
No meetin' my maker no hell to pay 
 
                Am  E7                 Am   
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
  
 
Chorus: 
 
                F7   
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
       Am   
 
The Lord and the Devil take it seriously 
 
               E7  F7                     Am       
 
This-a world, has a hold on me 
 
  
 
               Am   
 
This-a world, that's filled with delight 
 
This-a world, that's filled with delight 
 
   F7   
 
Pleasure to keep me up all night 
 
                Am   
 
This-a world, that's filled with delight 
 
 E7   
 
     cry, scream and moan, 
 
            F7  
 
You're perfume when I get you home 
 
                Am  E7                 Am   
 
This-a world, has a hold on me
