Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They oscillate their heads and stay in the city zone
But what can ya tell them
What can ya say that will make them defensive?
So, hang on to your ego.
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
they come home like they're peaceful, but inside their so uptight
they troop through their day and waste all their thoughts at night
but how can I say it
how can I come home when I know I'm guilty
So, hang on to your ego.
hang on, but I know that your gonna lose the fight
Then repeat verse 2 and chorus
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.
X2
