  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.
