#Simply Red - Holding Back The Years
# (Mick Hucknall)
#
#Very simple song to play just three chords. This is 100% correct, saw him play it
#on t.v. Mostly played with just down strokes. If you like you can change the em9 for a gmaj7
#sounds just as good.
#
# chords used:Em (022000)A (x02220)Em9 (010001)
