G C D From father to son, the blood runs thin, ooohhh A 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 Has come and gone A They leave me holdin' on F In Red Hill Town 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 You're all that's left to hold on to. The glass is cut The bottle run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself You I can't live without Yeah you keep me holdin' on In Red Hill Town See the lights go down on Chorus: Hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to On to 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 And it comes like a hunter child Chorus: I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hangin' on You're all that's left to hold on to Love, slowly stripped away Love has seen its better day Hangin' on Lights go out on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Town Lights go out on Red Hill You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
