---------------------------------
Please feel free to correct any mistakes I made. I haven't been playing
for too long, and this is my first attempt at a transcription.
intro: G# C# C B A#
[G#] [D#] [G#] [D#]
verse 1
-------
I know [G#]so many people who [D#]think they can do it alone[G#]
They [G#]oscillate their heads and stay [D#]in the city zone[G#]
[B]But what can ya tell [F#]them[B]
What can ya [F#]say that will [F]make them de[C#]fensive?
chorus
------
So, [D#]hang on to your [F]ego.[D#]
hang on, but I [F]know that your gonna [A#]lose the fight[D#]
they come [G#]home like they're peaceful, but [D#]inside their so [G#]uptight
they [G#]troop through their day and [D#]waste all their thoughts at [G#]night[B]
verse 2
-------
[B]but how can I say [F#]it[B]
how can I [F#]come home when [F]I know I'm [C#]guilty
So, [D#]hang on to your [F]ego.[D#]
hang on, but I [F]know that your gonna [A#]lose the fight[D#]
Chords before and during solo:
[G#] [C#] [C] [B] [A#]
[G#] [D#] [G#] [G#]
[F#] [C#] [F#] [F#]
Then repeat verse 2 and chorus
Note: I imagine that frank black plays this song with his guitar tuned
down 1/2 step, but I hate re-tuning my guitar, so these chords
are in standard tuning. I play all the chords sorta like barre
chords.

i.e. G# 466xxx,
D# x688xx,
B x244xx etc...
Also, the lyrics may be off a little.

kind of a cool song, but he didn't include lyrics w/cassette.
he tunes down to Eb for the record, this version is fingered in
in E which is probably closer to what he fingers.
