Hold What You've Got
Capo 5
Traditional, arranged by String Cheese Incident
from "Carnival '99"
transcribed by Kevin Hart, khartsb@aol.com
It's in the key of F, it's capoed at the fifth fret, and it's played
as if it's in the key of C. This tab shows chords as if the capo is the
nut. It uses the traditional bluegrass alternating bass notes while
strumming.
