Hold On Live


This tab was compiled using the Afterglow Live DVD/CD and also with a little help from the Mirrorball music book. I suggest watching the Afterglow DVD or listening to the CD as you learn it because she plays it a lot differently than the Mirrorball or Fumbling Towards Ecstasy versions. I think this is pretty close, I apologize for anything that may be wrong.
