U2 - Red Hill Mining Town: chords

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
