[Intro]

[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/C 
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 out on Red Hill 
                  G 
Lights go down on Red Hill 
D                   F                F 
  Lights go down on Red Hill's Town 
F                   C 
  Lights go down on Red Hill
