Hold You High
View chords used in this chart
This is a great song by a Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock trio that
hasn't quite hit it big yet. This is meant for one guitar. I can't tell
what the background guitars are doing.
But here it is: 4/4. To sound like on the CD put a capo on fret 2 to turn
it into Key E. Without a capo, it's the key of D.
It is OK if you don't have a capo.
