I wanna hold you - McFly
Album - Wonderland
Track 5

Tuning Standard

Tabbed By Steve Ratcliffe - givepeaceachance_20@hotmail.com

Power chords sound so much better with this song and i've put chords are at the bottom
of this tab. With the chords, for the verses use the chords that are lowest on the frets
as it minimises wrist movement around the frets. ie use chords upto 5th fret. For the
chorus' and bridge use chords from fret 5 to fret 12 as it minimises wirst movement
again.
All the chords (high and low are at the bottom of this tab)

Have a gr8 time playin this, im 99% sure this is completely correct.
itz an awesome song and Mcfly rock!
Any questions, comments or anything just email me, my address is near the top.
The solo is coming, i have a rough idea at the moment but it will take a few more days to get it 100%
Enjoy

Verse

G5                           F5 G5
Tell me that you want me baby
G5                      F5 G5
Tell me that it's true
G5                             Bb5        C5       G5     F5 G5
Say the magic words and i'd destroy the world for you
G5                             F5 G5
Not before the broken hearted
G5                             F5 G5
Marching through the streets
G5                               Bb5    C5         G5 - stop
And everything is burning to the ground under your feet


Chorus

D5
I wanna hold you
B5                     E5
My skies are turning black
                   G5  A5
Feels like a heart attack
    G5                   A5
And I'll do anything you ask
                  D5
I wanna hold you bad         (Hit Another D5, then slide from D5 down to A5)

G5                           F5 G5
Melt the polar ice caps baby
G5                        F5 G5
Watch them flood the earth      and
G5                          Bb5       C5       G5    F5 G5
Id do anything to show you what your love is worth
G5                              F5 G5
Won't you show me your devotion?
G5                     F5 G5
To heal my aching heart
