                            HOLD ON - ALABAMA SHAKES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song is pretty basic and enjoyable to play. Guitar 1 is rhythm, Guitar 2 is bass 
and Guitar 3 is lead. Done by ear, I'm 99% sure its correct. Standard tuning throughout. 
No capo. Enjoy :)

SEQUENCE:
(Intro)

(Verse 1)
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

(Chorus)
You've got to hold on
Yeah you've got to hold on

(Verse 2)
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

(Chorus)
You've got to hold on
Yeah you've got to hold on

(Bridge)
Yeah you've got to wait
you've got to wait
But I don't wanna wait
Don't wanna wait

(Verse 3)
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

(Chorus)
You've got to hold on
Yeah you've got to hold on

(Bridge)
Yeah you've got to wait
you've got to wait
But I don't wanna wait
Don't wanna wait

(Outro)
You've got to hold on
Well aren't you new guhhh????, You've got to hold on
Well everybody looking at you funny, You've got to hold on
You've got to hold on
