I would love to learn how to play, "Hold on to me". I really like the live version you do of it on youtube. Thanks, Lance
The complete lyrics are in
the album's liner notes. It's strummed as a standard waltz. As for chords, I assume you'll be playing standard ukulele tuning of GCEA. On the album, I play a baritone which is tuned differently, so I use different chords in a different key. But when I play it live in standard uke tuning (like in the video), I play in the key of F and the chords in the verses go like this:
I [F]know life ain't easy and I [Bb]know love is [F]hard
There's always somebody tryin' to [C]tear us apart
But [F]if you are steadfast and [Bb]patient and true
I [F]probably [C]might stay with [F]you [C7]
The chords in the chorus are exactly the same [F Bb C C7] played in
the same order as the verses.
The bridge goes:
[Bb]I know I'm not a [F]good man [A7]but I'm doin' the [Dm]best that I can
[Bb]I know that I [F]don't treat you right, but if you [A7]want me to change
Maybe [C]someday I might [C7]
Watching the video should give you an idea of how the chord changes go in this key. (It's not the best performance, but I'd only written it the day before and was trying not to forget how it went!)
Someday I'll write the tabs properly, but hopefully this is good enough for you to start with. If you record it, please send me a link!
