Note: Piece of advice. If you are playing an acoustic, the Second Guitar sounds
great, but if you're using an electric go with the Primary.
Intro:
Primary Guitar:
[B5] [C#5] [D5] [A5] [D5] [E]
[B5] [C#5] [D5] [A5] [D5] [A5]

[B5] [C#5] [D] [A] [D5] [A]
Second Guitar: Verse rythmn guitar part:
[B5] [C#5] [D] [A] [E]
[B5] [C#5] [D5] [A5] [D5] [A5]
Verse 1:
So I guess I [B5]must have just [C#5]been [D]dreaming
When I thought I [A5]heard myself say [E]no
Anyway it [B5]looks like no [C#5]one [D]heard me so here I [A5]go[D5][A5]
Verse 2:
Cause when you're in the [B5]company[C#5] of [D5]strangers
Or just the [A5]strangers you call [E]friends
[B5]You know before [C#5]you [D5]start just how it's going to [A5]end[D5][A5]
Chorus 1:
So remember [B5]When the doors [C#5]swing [D5]open
and all the [A5]drinks are passed [E]around
Anytime the [B5]pickins look [C#5]too e[D5]asy - hold me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
Verse 3:
I can't remember [B5]why I like [C#5]this [D5]feeling
When it only [A5]seems to let me [E]down
Soon I find I'm [B5]searching for [C#5]the [D5]exit from the [A5]gro[D5]und[A5]
Verse 4:
If I think the [B5]room is tur[C#5]ning [D5]faster
Then I think the [A5]music is too [E]loud
By then I've lived [B5]another bro[C#5]ken [D5]story to let me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/gin_blossoms/hold_me_down_tab_ver_2.html )
Chorus 2:
So remember [B5]When those doors [C#5]swing [D5]open
and all the [A5]drinks are passed [E]around
When half the party [B5]moves into [C#5]the [D5]bathroom - hold me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
Chorus 3:
Or if you're at the [B5]tail end of [C#5]the [D5]evening
And Dr. [A5]Feelgood comes [E]around
Anytime the [B5]pickins look [C#5]too e[D5]asy - hold me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
Bridge:
Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E
Down if I want that part
Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E
Down if I've gone too far
(Haven't figured out this Fill/Solo) It does end on E and you hold it for 4 seconds.
Play this once:
[B5] [-] [C#5] [-] [D5] [-] [A5] [-] [E]
[B5] [-] [C#5] [-] [D5] [-] [A5] [-] [D5] [-] [A5]
Verse 5:
Well I guess I [B5]must have just [C#5]been [D5]reeling
When I felt [A5]myself begin to [E]fall
I realize I'm [B5]bounding down [C#5]the [D5]hallways and off the [A5]wal[D5]ls[A5]
Verse 6:
If my bed was [B5]standing in [C5#]the [D5]corner
I could just [A5]fall into it right [E]now
And know that I'd be [B5]staring at [C#5]the [D5]ceiling going roun[A5]d[D5][A5]
Chorus 4:
So remember [B5]When those doors [C#5]swing [D5]open
and all the [A5]drinks are passed [E]around
When half the party [B5]moves into [C#5]the [D5]bathroom - hold me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
Chorus 5:
Or if you're at the [B5]tail end of [C#5]the [D5]evening
And Dr. [A5]Feelgood comes [E]around
Anytime the [B5]pickins look [C#5]too e[D5]asy - hold me [A5]dow[D5]n[A5]
Bridge 2:
Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E
Down if I want that part
Dsus2, A, Asus4, Dsus2, A, Asus4, E
Down if I've gone too far - Tell me that it'll never be that way.
The conclusion is a little too complicated for me, and the Fill Stryder used was
inadequate so I didn't bother. If you come up with improvements feel free to
submit a corrected version. I can be reached at [email protected]
