This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Hold On - Green Day

*intro* (w/harmonica)

G C G C G C D (x2)

*verse*

G C

As I stepped to the edge

G D

'yond the shadow of a doubt

G C G D

With my conscience beating

G C

Like the pulse of a drum

G D

that hammers on and on

C D G

til I reach the break of day

G C

As the sun beats down

G D

on the halfway house

G C G D

has my conscience beating

G C

The sound in my ear

G D

the will to persevere

C D G

as I reach the break of day

*chorus*

Em

When you lost all hope

G

and excuses

D G

and the cheapskates and the losers

Em

Nothing's left

G

to cling on to

C D

Got to hold on

G

hold on to yourself

G C G C G C D
