Biography:
Simply Red is an English pop band, formed in the mid 1980s.
Simply Red's roots originate from the notorious 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the many young music fans present (along with original members of The Fall, Joy Division, The Smiths and Buzzcocks) who was inspired to form a band after witnessing that gig. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators.

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: Dm (022000) G (x02220) Dm9 (010001)
