Intro:

G   C


Verse:

G               C                       D
 From father to son, the blood runs thin, ooohhh
        A                  F                   F
see the faces frozen still   against the wind         

G                 C
 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
             D      D
Has come and gone
       

Bridge:

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


Chorus:

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


Verse:

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


Bridge:

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

Chorus:

G
  Hanging on
D                           F
  You're all that's left to hold on to
C
  I'm still waiting
G
  I'm hanging on
D                           F           F
  You're all that's left to hold on to
    (G)             
On to
    

Verse:

G                   C
 We scorch the earth
                   G
Set fire to the sky
                     C
And we stooped so low
                G
To reach so high
              C
A link is lost
                G
The chain undone
               C
We wait all day 
             D
For night to come
       Am           F             F
And it comes like a hunter child


Chorus:

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

G
Love______
D
slowly stripped away
F
Love______
    C
has seen its better day

G
  Hanging on______
D                   F         C
  Lights go down on Red Hill
                        G
  Lights go down on Red Hill
D                       F                F
  Lights go down on Red Hill's Town
F                       F(let ring)
  Lights go down on Red Hill Town
