	     Hold on Tight To Your Dreams - Electric Light Orchestra
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning:  Standard

* There's only one version of this song out there, no power chord formation ones exist 
so I made this version myself ... the song itself is a bit unorthodox ... listen to the 
patterns ... they can be a bit tricky *
