Saves the Day
Hold
Underdog EP
Equal Vision Records

This is a great song off of Saves The Day's acoustic EP "Underdog" titled "Hold". It's a fun and fairly simple song to play, and it has a catchy beat. Try to follow the strumming pattorn; I think that I illustrated it fairly well. Enjoy!


Verse One  {00:00- 00:26} [Single Guitar]

(Oh, well....)
