Hold You High Tab

by By The Tree


Band Name: By The Tree
Song Name: Hold You High

This is a great song by a Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock trio that
hasn't quite hit it big yet. This is meant for one guitar. I can't tell
what the background guitars are doing. But here it is: 4/4. I recommend
putting a capo on fret 2 to turn it into Key E. Without a capo, it's Key D 
is OK if you don't have a capo. Rhythm Pattern: Down   Down Up   Up Down Up

Intro:        

Verse 1:
                 
I drank from this cup
                        
'Til it watered down my soul
                             
I need you so I'll thirst no more
                   
I started down this path
                     
Such a long long time ago
                     
I need to find my way home

Chorus:
                                   
I want to be the one that holds you high
                                     
I want to be the one that gives you glory only
                                   
I want to be the one that holds you high
                                      
I want to be the one that brings you praise

Verse 2:
              
I'm the king of my desires
                       
I've tried them all a thousand times
                                         
I have got to choose between this world and you
                
It's got a grip I must admit
                     
I can't explain this emptiness
                        
I hurt without you by my side

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
                         
I cry to you in my darkest hour
                                   
And you brought my soul up from the grave

       

(strum once and hold)(strum once and hold)   
I  want  to  be  the  one  that  holds  you  high
                                       
I want to be the one that gives you glory only
                                   
I want to be the one that holds you high
                                     
I want to be the one that brings you praise
                                   
I want to be the one that holds you high
                                        
I want to be the one that gives you glory only
                                   
I want to be the one that holds you high
                                    
I want to be the one that brings you praise

OK I think this is all correct. Any encouragement or advice would greatly be
