Cant Hold On Chords

(ver. 1)
The Blues Band
INTRO:
A    /    C#7  /    F#m  /    Dm7  /            
A    F#m  B7   E7   A    Cm7  Bm7  E7


VERSE 1:
  A                             C#7
A man just came to call for my rent
          F#m                           Dm7
I had to hide under the table till he knocked six times and went
       A                  F#m
But I can't hold on much longer
B7                    E7                   A      Cm7    Bm7   E7     
       It seems like everything is down on me

VERSE 2:
   A                   C#7
I used to be a man of means
         F#m                     Dm7
Now you might still find a few pennies, oh Lord, in the pocket of my jeans
       A                  F#m
But I can't hold on much longer
B7                E7                    A      D     C#m7   Cm7
    It seems like everything is down on me


CHORUS:
Bm7                C#m7
  Now I don't have too many friends
    Bm7    E7                    A7
In fact I can't think of any at all no no no no
        Bm7             C#m7
Oh but just let me get back on my feet again
        D   B7/Eb                     E7     E9 
And my long lost friends will come to call 


VERSE 3:
A                            C#7
Knocking on my own brother's door
              F#m7                         Dm7 
People,I was knocking for an hour, till I found out he don't live there no more 
         A            F#m
I can't hold on much longer
B7               E7                    A     Cm7    Bm7   E7  
   It seems like everything is down on me

CHORUS:
Bm7                C#m7
  Now I don't have too many friends
    Bm7    E7                    A7
In fact I can't think of any at all no no no no
        Bm7             C#m7
Oh but just let me get back on my feet again
        D   B7/Eb                     E7     E9 
And my long lost friends will come to call
