Frank Black - Hang On To Your Ego
---------------------------------
Please feel free to correct any mistakes I made. I haven't been playing
for too long, and this is my first attempt at a transcription.
intro: G# C# C B A#
G# D# G# D#
verse 1
-------
G# D# G#
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
G# D# G#
They oscillate their heads and stay in the city zone
B F# B
But what can ya tell them
F# F C#
What can ya say that will make them defensive?
chorus
------
D# F D#
So, hang on to your ego.
F A# D#
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
G# D# G#
they come home like they're peaceful, but inside their so uptight
G# D# G# B
they troop through their day and waste all their thoughts at night
verse 2
-------
B F# B
but how can I say it
F# F C#
how can I come home when I know I'm guilty
D# F D#
So, hang on to your ego.
F A# D#
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
Chords before and during solo:
G# C# C B A#
G# D# G# G#
F# C# F# F#
Then repeat verse 2 and chorus
Note: I imagine that frank black plays this song with his guitar tuned
down 1/2 step, but I hate re-tuning my guitar, so these chords
are in standard tuning. I play all the chords sorta like barre
chords.
eadgbE
i.E. G# 466xxx,
D# x688xx,
B x244xx etc...
Also, the lyrics may be off a little.

kind of a cool song, but he didn't include lyrics w/cassette.
he tunes down to Eb for the record, this version is fingered in
in E which is probably closer to what he fingers.
