Simply Red - Holding Back The Years
(Mick Hucknall)
Very simple song to play just three chords. This is 100% correct, saw him play it
on t.v. Mostly played with just down strokes. If you like you can change the em9 for a gmaj7
sounds just as good.
chords used: Em (022000) A (x02220) Em9 (010001)

Holding back the years, thinking of the fear I've had so long,
