View Guitar Chords for Hold me with both hands - chords ver. 1
First tab for me. This is done by ear and should give you a good idea of the chord structure. To play it like Matt you really need to watch his videos and study his technique and the little licks he utilises between lines and verses. This is the video I am basing this off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS4XEuiIfVE Not sure on the naming of chords but they are tabbed below. Tips: this song is mostly picked, starting with the A string and then a picking the rest of the strings in a fan a half beat later. The bottom E (in pitch) is rarely picked apart from the turnarounds between lines/verses, this is in the shape of G and if you are having trouble playing the picked version use a G at the end of each section. Best advice though, watch the video and try to pick-up his technique. Enjoy ;) Chords: C/E: 032013 Cm/E: 002003 Fmaj9: 003213 G: 320033 (rather than actually playing G you can just do a little lick using the same positions) E7: 020100 Am7: 002010 (can also play standard Am)C/EEvery now and then I get a Cm/Elittle bit carried away Fmaj9Even at my best I feel so faC/Er away G C/ELike an anchor on a ship, yCm/Eou keep me close to land Fmaj9Hold tight baby, hold me wiC/Eth both hands GC/EIâm a wave without an oCm/Ecean, a risk without a chance to take Fmaj9A thought without a notion, C/Ea love without a heart to break G C/EWith all this weight upon me Cm/EI donât think that I can stand Fmaj9Hold me baby, holC/Ed me with both handsE7Wishes come easy, but hope stays far behind Am7If only it was easy, if all it would take was timeC/EPeople donât see a thCm/Eing, when they think Iâve got it all Fmaj9They think Iâve never hit the botC/Etom, theyâve never seeGn me fall C/EBut youâre the one who knCm/Eows, youâre the one who understands Fmaj9When you hold me baby, C/Ehold me with both hands G Fmaj9When you hold me baby, C/Ehold me with both hands GAdditional: I throw a few 5th harmonics in every so often and the odd scale between verses to extend the length when played live.
