Hold You High Ukulele

(ver. 1)
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

I can't explain this emptiness
