’This is the song ¨Hold On¨ by Alabama Shakes from the album ’Boys & Girls’ The song basically alternates between two chords C/G F e|-----0----------1-------| B|-----1----------1-------| G|-----0----------2-------| D|-----2----------3-------| A|-----3----------3-------| E|-----3------------------| [The strumming pattern gets a little different during the bridge, but it’s the same chords. The thing that spices it up is the dynamics from the verse to chords (soft to loud) and the lead guitar that dances around the melodies] (Lyrics) Bless my heart, Bless my soul Didn’t think I’d make it to 22 years old There must be someone up above sayin’ Come on Brittney, You got to come on up
You’ve got to hold on Yeah you’ve got to hold on So bless my heart and bless yours too I don’t know where I’m gonna go Don’t know what I’m gonna do Well, must be somebody up above sayin’ Come on Brittney, You’ve got to come on up You’ve got to hold on Yeah you’ve got to hold on Yeah you’ve got to wait you’ve got to wait But I don’t wanna wait Don’t wanna wait So bless my heart, bless my mind I got so much to do, I aint got much time Well, must be somebody up above sayin’ Come on girl, You’ve got to get back up You’ve got to hold on Yeah you’ve got to hold on Yeah you’ve got to wait you’ve got to wait But I don’t wanna wait Don’t wanna wait BASIC LEAD PARTS [verse] e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|------7-------3-----------------3-3--| E|--5--------5-------5---3-----5-------| [chorus] First part e|-------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|--------10--------10-----------------| A|--10/12-----10/12-----10/12----------| E|-------------------------------------| REPEAT 2xs Fill 1 & 3 e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|------------------------10--12----------------| D|--------10--------10----12--14----------------| A|--10/12-----10/12-----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------| Fill 2 e|----------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------| G|------------------------12--10---9------------| D|--------10--------10----14--12---10-----------| A|--10/12-----10/12-----------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------| Fill 4 *bend(hold.......) e|-----------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------13-13--13-12----| G|-----------12------------------/12---14-14--14-12-12-| D|---12*(14)------14*(12)---10---/14----------------14-| A|-----------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------| ’
