Barclay James Harvest - Hold On
Track #2, Victims of Circumstance
Just about the whole song is done to the following riff, with the exception
of the last line of the chorus (which has G5 instead of B5).
There's also a key change up 2 steps before the final chorus.

F#5 G5 A5 B5
There's a girl that lives in the shadows
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Of the street where music plays
F#5 G5 A5 B5
There she waits and looks from the outside
F#5 G5 A5 B5
There's an angel in her face
F#5 G5 A5 B5
But from her glass she sips a little comfort
F#5 G5 A5 B5
From the boys she takes a little more
F#5 G5 A5 B5
And she knows just how far she can take it
F#5 G5 A5 B5
In a moment she's out on the floor
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - dance with the light
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - got to keep a-moving
F#5 G5 A5 G5
Hold on - into the night
F#5 G5 A5 B5
In her eyes they thought they saw a question
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Maybe she is looking their way
F#5 G5 A5 B5
As the night gets older are they wiser?
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Who will take her? - no-one can say
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Does she know just how they feel about her?
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Can't she see she's driving them insane?
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Could it be she doesn't even notice?
F#5 G5 A5 B5
When the music starts playing again
They're saying
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - dance with the light
F#5 G5 A5 B5
Hold on - got to keep a-moving
F#5 G5 A5 G5
Hold on - into the night
Ab5 A5 B5 C#5
Ab5 A5 B5 C#5
G#5 A5 B5 C#5
Hold on - she's got to keep a-moving
G#5 A5 B5 C#5
Hold on - dance with the light
G#5 A5 B5 C#5
Hold on - got to keep a-moving
G#5 A5 B5 C#5
Hold on - into the night
(repeat and fade)
