Biography:
Christopher Anton Rea (born 4 March 1951) is an English rock and blues singer-songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in Middlesbrough, he is of Italian and Irish descent. He is known for his distinctive, husky singing and slide guitar playing, with the Guinness Rockopedia describing him as a "gravel-voiced guitar stalwart". After learning to play the guitar relatively late, a short burst of local band activity led to his launching a solo career in 1978.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The strumming pattern doesn't match the original song (didn't tab the rythm part out yet), but it should be
fine for just playing along.
The meter is 2/4 at ~78 bpm, atleast until the bridge.
[Intro]
Am C F E x3
[Verse]
E Am C F
How many times
E Am C F E
Have I been here before?
Am C F E
Like a worn away piece of the night
E Am C F E
Waiting for the dawn
Dm
Daylight breaks
Am F
And the dream is gone
F E
Leaving me to stay
Am C F E
But I'm still holding on
Am C F E
I'm still holding on | x3
E Am
Still holding on
[Bridge]
(Palmmute and crescendo)
Am x4
[Verse]
Am C F
I used to think I knew
E Am C F E
Just exactly what I took
Am C F
You move in, fast and hard
E Am C F E
And you make your own luck
Dm
Daylight breaks
Am F
And the dream is gone
F E
Leaving me to stay
Am C F E
But I'm still holding on
Am C F E
I'm still holding on | x3
E Am
Still holding on
[Bridge]
(Palmmute and crescendo)

[Instrumental]
Strum each cord for 8 1/8 notes, sounds best with only down strums
E Am E Am Dm Am F E
[Verse]
Am C F
I see it better now
E Am C F E
Smell the tears upon this tracks
Am C F
It's a long long way before it's over
E Am
And what you give out
C F E
Is what you get back
Dm
The easy way out
Am F
It will bite you hard someday
F
You see me smile and learn
E
I find a better way
Am C F E
But I'm still holding on
Am C F E
I'm still holding on | x3
E Am
Still holding on
[Outro]
Am C F E
But I'm still holding on
Am C F E
I'm still holding on | x3
E Am
Still holding on
Repeat the "I'm still holding on" part, until it fades out
fine for just playing along.
The meter is 2/4 at ~78 bpm, atleast until the bridge.
