Chords for Rik Emmett, 2001, Toronto, playing Triumph's "Hold On". Great Version!

[N] _ _ [D] _ I'm going to do a little song now from the [E] past and I want to dedicate this to the [C#] Blue Jay folks. _
This is the [D] 25th anniversary for the team and I [C] got some friends there.
_ _ And I go back that [E] far _ and _ [F#] I can remember what [Em] it was like before the [C#] good times _ [D#]
when
we used to send old Dave [D] Steepe out there and that guy would be the workhorse and we'd
[E] _ _ [D] _
[F#] wear him up pretty good.
And then we had some good times and now the [E] times aren't necessarily so good again but
you know that's okay.
I understand that.
[F] I understand that [D#] very well.
And this is a [F] song about sticking true to [E] yourself no matter [C#] what.
The [D] song is called Hold On To [C#] Your Dreams.

_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
Music holds the secret.
[G] _ _ Tomorrow [D] can _ make you [G] whole. _
[D] _ It's not just a [G] game it knows.
It's the sound inside your soul. _
_ _ That [Em] big old _ [D] melody.
_ Next to you [G] I can stream.
[D] _ _ [Em] What's the purpose of doing [A] it?
I [Bm] can _ _ _ _ _ dream. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ Dream. _ Dream.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
I [E] _ see the sun and the color of the land.
All the people in this [A] village.
_ _ _ [E]
We must turn into the world.
I sing it out. _ _ _ _
_ _ Simple to my [D] eyes when we're near.
_ Everyone [A] needs care.
_ So [E] hold on _ _ _ _ and [D] I will take [A] you _ there.
_ [E] Hold on [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ to [A] you.
Take _ _ _ [B] you.

_ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [E] Take you.
Take you [D] slow.
Ride the train.
[E] Hold you down and tell you how [D] to breathe.
[A] I'm a pretty face.
Not a day.
[G#m] Not a [A] dollar.
Not a pretty face.
[Bm] I can't see yourself in the [A] end. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Hold on. _
Hold on to your dreams.
Hold on.
Everyone _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] around you.
[E] And I never escape.
We listen to your [B] heart.
And [F#m] we hold [A] on _ _ _ to [E] your dreams.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ [E] _ We're _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ all _ _ _ _ [E] in a _ _ _ [G] routine.
_ _ You've got [A] to _ take it. _ _ _
_ _ [E] Time _ waits [G] for us.
We won't [A] let it wait.
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ Life gives you the [G] chance.
_ You've got [A] to take it. _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Oh _ _ _ _ yeah.
_ _ _ Oh. _ _

[A] Feel it everywhere.
_ [E] Can't you hear the music?
Can [D] I show you?
