Holding On tab by Alex Day

Tabs

I love this song so much. I spent last night with my capo and newly fixed guitar and
tabbed it. It's great if you have a nice clean electric tone to your guitar. This may
be right but its my first tab so enjoy!!!!! 8D

Capo on fourrrrrrr

(Tabbed ignoring from the capo. So although 5 is one fret away from the capo it's still
to be tabbed as 5)

Intro:

--------------------0-----------------------------|
------------0h2---0-1-----------------------------|
----------------0---0-----------------------------|
-----0h2------------------------------------------|  x2
--3------3----------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------|

Mainly hammer ons but once you've got it down it sounds lovely

If you read tabs ignoring the capo (meaning 5 is always 5 but 0 is still open so its 0)
then I has it here:

--------------------0-----------------------------|
-----------0h5---0--5-----------------------------|
---------------0----0-----------------------------|
----0h6-------------------------------------------|  x2
--7----7------------------------------------------|
--------------------------------------------------|

from now on it's basically chords. I think Alex does a thing where he plays the lowest
of the chord on the down beats and than the whole chord on the off beat. It also helps
watch Alex play cause he does it quite wonderfully

So...

1 + 2 + 3  + 4 +

Anyway it's chord time!

Verse 1

C majorC
       AbAb
A augmentedA million and one thousand things are screaming in my head
                      Eb MajorEb
And I can't seem to forget
                          C majorC
Can't stop thinking about you
                                             AbAb
I could ride across the sky in a bicycle built for two
                          Eb MajorEb
Could you teach me how to ride

Like you taught me how to feel alive

Chrous (just regular strumming here)


FF     C majorC        Eb MajorEb                  AbAb
Not a single day goes by when I don't wish for you to
FF                 C majorC              Eb MajorEb
watch me pause to find the words to steal your heart away
FF              C majorC                 Eb MajorEb        AbAb
But I play every word back round and round to try and find
FF                    C majorC             Eb MajorEb
a clue you might have left behind to say you feel the same

 (I like to play it this way I'm not positive about the AbAb but the Eb MajorEb FF is very
and fun to play 8D)
C majorC   Eb MajorEb    AbAb  Eb MajorEb FF
Even if I know
C majorC        Eb MajorEb    AbAb  Eb MajorEb FF
I'll never be your Leo
C majorC         Eb MajorEb
I'll keep holding on
