Never Let Go Camel
Never Let Go - from Camel's first album
Here comes a Camel favourit. It seems like I'm into transcribing chords
"Slow Yourself Down", Congas not included.
The transcription is based on both original version and the 'Never Let Go'
live version. I suppose the C chord on the chorus is really another Am7,
but it's hard for me to decide. Anyway - it's a great song and it even
sounds great with one guitar.
Bass line is not included this time. Better figure it out yourself 'cos
it is as simple as only Doug Ferguson can get. Viva Ferguson! Why did he
ever leave the band? :-<
Oh! Almost forgot! The tab was created using my new and incomplete TAB MASTER
program for tabbing guitar. When it's finished - you may all have it,
available for free on the net.
Blah blah blah. Enough of that! Enjoy! Comments etc are, as always, welcome.

[Em]He will get by, [Am7]somehow he'll try,
[Bm7]He won't take no, [C]never let go, [Em]no...
repeat twice the Am7 - Bm7 section and then:
I hear them talk about Kingdom Come,
I hear them discuss Armageddon...
They say the hour is getting late,
But I can still hear someone say,
This is not the way...
Man is born with the will to survive,
He'll not take no for an answer.
He will get by, somehow he'll try,
He won't take no, never let go, no...
