Drive-By Truckers – Hanging On (Guitar)

       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
Ooooooh      ooooooh   oooooh  oooooh ooooh

F            Am        C       G         D
Ooooooh      ooooooh   oooooh  oooooh ooooh

   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 come to you so quickly

     E
it's hard to get out from under it

    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

No chord   C
to hang on
