Let's face it, the old tab sucked (yes I tabbed it. I'm sorry).


Frank Black
Song: Hang on to Your Ego
Album: Frank Black
Written by: Brian Wilson and Terry Sachen
Tabbed by: ProverbialCereal

This song tunes down 1/2 step. The chords are the guitar
formations, and not the actual key. If you don't want to
tune down, or are playing on keyboard, play every chord
one whole step lower. 


Intro: A#5  [4 measures]
        
A  Dm  C#m  Cm  E


[VERSE]
 
 A  E (2x)    

         A                  E                    A
  I know so many people who think they can do it alone
       A                       E                A
  They isolate their heads and stay in the city zone


[BRIDGE]

  C                  G
    But what can you tell them?
  C              G             F#m          D
    What can you say that wont make them defensive? So...

[CHORUS]
    E                 F#m
      Hang on to your ego
    E               F#m                    Bm            E
      Hang on but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight

[VERSE 2]
            A 
  They come home like they’re peaceful 
      E                   A
  But inside they’re so uptight
       A                        
  They trip through the day 
      E                           A
  and waste all their thoughts at night.

[BRIDGE 2]
 C               G
   But how can I say it? 
 C           G             F#m         D
   How can I come home when I know I’m guilty?


play CHORUS

[SOLO]

 A  Dm  C#m  Cm  E


SOLO: A  E  A
      G  D  G

play BRIDGE 2

[SOLO 2] 

E F#m (4x)


[CHORUS] x3

    E                 F#m   E          F#m
      Hang on to your ego     (hang on)
    E               F#m                    Bm            E
      Hang on but I know that you’re gonna lose the fight


A  Dm  C#m  Cm  E   B  A

"They come on like they're peaceful" and "how can I come on..", too.

probably safety zone. I'm sure I copied those lyrics from somewhere on the internet 5 years ago.

Stay in their safety zone.
