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#CBA# 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
BF#B But what can ya tell them
F#FC# What can ya say that will make them defensive?
chorus ------ D#FD# So, hang on to your ego.
FA#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 ------- BF#B but how can I say it
F#FC# how can I come home when I know I'm guilty
D#FD# So, hang on to your ego.
FA#D# hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
Chords before and during solo:
G#C#CBA#
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.
