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:
verse 1
-------
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They oscillate their heads and stay in the city zone
But what can ya tell them
What can ya say that will make them defensive?
chorus
------
So, hang on to your ego.
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
they come home like they re peaceful, but inside their so uptight
they troop through their day and waste all their thoughts at night
verse 2
-------
but how can I say it
how can I come home when I know I m guilty
So, hang on to your ego.
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
Chords before and during solo:
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.

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.
