Chord/Tab song: Never Hold You

Dwight Yoakam - Never Hold You


Play this with capo on 1st fret.
All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.

You should really detune your guitar a half-step to play this song,
but playing it this way is quicker for me to tab.

D (Eb) xx0232 G (Ab) 320003

A (Bb) x02220




[D]INTRO


[G]I've seen 'em watch you and make plans what they'll do
When someday, you're no longer [D]mine.


[G]I've heard 'em carry on about how, when I'm finally gone,
They're gonna treat you oh so [D]fine.


[A]But I could have told them that
[G]They'd never hold you if they [D]tried.


[G]I could have told them that, you bend and fold men who
Thought they would have you as a [D]prize.
[G]I could have told them, those foolish souled men that
They'd never hold you if they [A]tried.


[D]INSTRU[G]MENT[D]AL[G][A][D]


[G]I've been made real aware of pleasure that they'll share
With you soon as I slip your [D]mind.


[G]I've listened to 'em boast how I'll just be a ghost
Once they start takin' up your [D]time.


[A]But I could have told them that
[G]They'd never hold you if they [D]tried.

[A]But I could have told them that
[G]They'd never hold you if they [D]tried.

[A]But I could have told them that
[G]They'd never hold you if they [D]tried.
