Hold You High


Band Name: By The Tree Song Name: Hold You High 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. I recommend putting a capo on fret 2 to turn it into Key E. Without a capo, it's Key D is OK if you don't have a capo.
