Red Hill Mining Town

      G
From father to son
      C
The blood runs thin
      D             A
Ooh, see the faces frozen still
      F
Against the wind.

[Verse]

The seam is split
       G
The coal-face cracked
       C
The lines are long
       G
There's no going back.
       C
Through hands of steel
       G
And heart of stone
       C
Our labour day
       G
Has come and gone.
       C

[Bridge]

They leave me holdin' on
       D
In Red Hill Town.
       A
See the lights go down on ...
       F

[Chorus]

     G
Hangin' on

     D                     F
You're all that's left to hold on to.
     C
I'm still waiting
     G
I'm hangin' on
     D                    F
You're all that's left to hold on to.

[Verse]

     G
The glass is cut
      C
The bottle run dry.
       G
Our love runs cold
         C
In the caverns of the night.
           G
We're wounded by fear
       C
Injured in doubt.
         G
I can lose myself
            C
You I can't live without.

[Bridge]

Yeah, you keep me holdin' on
     D
In Red Hill Town.
      A
See the lights go down on
       F

[Chorus]

Hangin' on
   G
You're all that's left to hold on to.
   D            F
I'm still waiting
    C
I'm hangin' on

     G
You're all that's left to hold on to
    D             F
On to.
    C

[Verse]

G
We scorch the earth
C
Set fire to the sky
G
And we stooped so low
C
To reach so high.

[Verse]

A link is lost
G
The chain undone.
C
We wait all day
G
For night to come
C               D
And it comes like a hunter child.
A                 F

[Chorus]

I'm hangin' on
G            D
You're all that's left to hold on to.
F
I'm still waiting
C
I'm hangin' on
G             D
You're all that's left to hold on to.
F                       C

We see love, slowly stripped away
G                      D
Our love has seen its better day.

F                       C
Hangin' on
G         D
Lights go down on Red Hill
F                  C
The lights go down on Red Hill.
G                    D
The lights go down on Red Hill.
F                      F
The lights go down on Red Hill Town..
 F                    F
