Hi everyone.
Here's the tab for "Hold on to your friends" Of my favourite singer, Morrisey.
As you may see, i couldn't transcribe the main part, and the intro is very
basic and needs improvment too, but i guess that it's better than nothing :).
Intro :
There are tw guitars in the intro, an electric one and an accustic
one. The electic plays that :
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|-2---4---5------0---4---5---------4---5------------------------------------|
D-|------------------------------3--------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
And the accustic plays that :
E-|-3--------5---------0------------------------------------------------------|
B-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
and after that he stars to sing. Here are the chords, they sound
ok, but i could define one of them, and i called him C?. You can
post me the name of it. Anyway, here they are.

| This song is fantastic indeed ferdinand, and almost makes me cry each time I hear it! It's just a lovely song about friendship ("don't feel so ashamed to have friends" - what a great line!) The melody sounds like a plea from a man who has squandered his friends in the past and doesn't want others to make the same mistake. Almost in a similar vein to 'I Threw It All Away" by Bob Dylan, another favourite song of mine. By the end of the song I'm always thinking of good friends I haven't seen for a while, and wanting to call them up to see how they are. I also love singing along to the daring lines "Give up your job / Squander your cash" - I always think, well maybe he's got a point, that sounds like a good plan...! Also, I always think he's going to sing "smoke hash" in the last verse, as it goes with the rhyme scheme, which always makes me chuckle... | |

| this song is about a fair-weather friend, who doesn't appreciate the friends he has, a user. | |
