Hold On Tight by Electric Light Orchestra
Hold On Tight
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 *

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.
REPEAT CHORUS:
Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.
Oh, yeah
Hold on tight to your dream
Yeah, hold on tight...
To your dream.
