    In this particular video, Lewis tuned down half a step. He's tuned to:
    D# G# C# F# A# d#, or:
    Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb
    The chords for the verses are just C and F but Hendrix shape - To get this shape move your middle finger up from the 2nd fret of the D string to the 2nd fret of the G string and add your pinky to the 3rd fret of the D, under your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the A string.
    The little riff between to link the next verse is basically just playing around with your ring finger lifting off and putting back on in the F shape.
    The pre-chorus
    "Don't be scared, who cares..."
    Is Am7 (Am with ring finger lifted off - 002010), then add your ring finger to the 3rd fret of the low E to get Am7/G(?) and then F again. You repeat the middle riff to link the chorus and verses as well.
    The chorus
    "Holding on..."
    Is basically just C, to C/G and then back to F
    (I think pls no hate thx u x x x love you all and mahogany hehe)

    • @Redux1010
      @Redux1010 10 лет назад

      The chorus
      "Holding on..."
      Is basically just C, to C/G and then back to F"
      Scratch that.
      The C/G is actually 320010

    ♥️Sink or swim,
    Hold your breath and just dive right in.
    Ride the wave,
    (just) ride the wave far from where we came.
    Don't be scared,
    Who cares if we lose again
    Let it out,
    Don't let doubt ever have its day.
    Down and out,
    (don't) throw the towel,
    We can win this race.
    Don't be scared,
    Who cares if we lose again
    I'll be there,
    I'll be there with you 'til the end
    (and you know I'll be)
    Holding onto you for dear life,
    Holding onto you for dear life, I will
    (you know I'll be)
    Holding onto you for dear life,
    Holding onto you for dear life, I will
    Sing to me,
    Make me feel like the only one
    Bring to me,
    (and I'll) bring to you everything you want
    Don't be scared,
    Who cares if we lose again
    I'll be there,
    I'll be there with you 'til the end
    (and you know I'll be)
    Holding onto you for dear life,
    Holding onto you for dear life, I will
    (you know I'll be)
    Holding onto you for dear life,
    Holding onto you for dear life, I will
    (and I know you'll be)
    Holding onto me for dear life
    Holding onto me for dear life, I know
