Hanging On Chords

Post by LastLawson »

Standard Tuning for this one.
For the G chords, keep your finger on the third fret of the B string.
For the D chords, keep the high E string open.

Hanging On:

C G
Your mama can't stand the way
G C
you lay around all day
G
and lean on her to help you on your way
C G
You use her credit cards
G C
complain cause it's so hard
G
to live with all the whiteness you've obtained
F Am C G D
Ooo-ooh
F Am C G D
Ooo-ooh

C G
So you pack up all your things
G C
and cut those apron strings
G
and set out for a drastic change of scene
C G
You hump it town to town
G C
and never let them down
G
or take the time to ponder what it means

F Am C G D
You climb up to the roof to smoke a few
F Am C G D
to calm down from your day and soak? the view
F Am C G D
and you wonder what the hell you're gonna do
A E
to hang on
A E
to hang on
A
It isn't any wonder
E
when the darkness pulls you under
A
from the weight of all your wonderment
E
the price you have to pay
A
is you're feeling kind of sickly
E
it all comes to you so quickly
A E
it's hard to get out from under it

F Am C G D x3
G for a few measures

C G
The night it grows so long
G C
She put it in a song
G
suddenly the whole world wants to sing
C G
So you move to higher ground
G C
set some deep roots down
G
and try to keep a grip on everything.

F Am C G D
Sometimes in the silence of the night
F Am C G D
the voice might try to tell you it's not right
F Am C G D
So you close your eyes and try with all your might
G for a couple measures
No chord
to hang on.
C
Heading to HC Friday and Saturday - first timer!
