Hold Tight Tab

by Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick And Tich


This is the bass for this great 60's classics. One of my favorite songs
for guitar with the chords. 

Intro is 8 distorted open E chords on the guitar. Then the bass comes in. 
I suggest palm muting whether you play this on a bass or regular guitar.
It's actually mastered pretty; surprisingly; low. Like it will bump your
subs a little. 

D and U are down and upstroke. 
   D D DUD DUDU UDU - repeat this rythmn
G|-----------------|   |----------------------------------|
D|-----------------|3X |----------------------------------|
A|-----------------|   |0-0-000-0000-000-2-2-222-2222-2---|
E|-0-0-000-0000-000|   |-------------------------------00-|

G|---------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------|
A|-0-0-000-0000-000-2-2-222-20-0-000-0---------|
E|------------------------------------0-0-000-0|

                                    Twenty B-notes there
G|------------------------------------------------------| Now repeat all
D|------------------------------------------------------| except only one 
A|0-0-000-0-2-22-2-0-2-22-2-0-2-22-22222222222222222222-| time through
E|------------------------------------------------------| on beginning E


After this the solo just repeats the E-A-B-A progression twice, then it's
like the intro again with the drums, guitar, then bass. After that reapeat
the whole thing again. 

Solo goes like this to clarify:
G|---------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------| X2
A|----------0-0-000-0-2-2-222-2-0-0-000-0|
E|-0-0-000-0-----------------------------|

After that it's like the intro again. Reapeat all as before; only one time
through beginning E again. Then, for the end, it does the intro thing again
only it just repeats the beginning E part a bunch of times.
