Red Hill Mining Town

	  		      G 
From father to son 
      C 
The blood runs thin 
      D             A 
Ooh, see the faces frozen still 
      F               
Against the wind. 
        

     Verse 

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 
       G 
Has come and gone. 
       C 

    Bridge 

They leave me holdin' on 
       D 
In Red Hill Town. 
       A 
See the lights go down on ... 
       F 

    Chorus 

     G 
Hangin' on 
     D                     F 
You're all that's left to hold on to. 
     C 
I'm still waiting 
     G 
I'm hangin' on 
     D                    F 
You're all that's left to hold on to. 

    Verse 

     G 
The glass is cut 
      C 
The bottle run dry. 
       G 
Our love runs cold  
         C 
In the caverns of the night. 
           G 
We're wounded by fear 
       C 
Injured in doubt. 
         G 
I can lose myself 
            C 
You I can't live without.

Yeah, you keep me holdin' on

I'm hangin' on

On to.

   Verse 

G 
We scorch the earth 
C 
Set fire to the sky 
G 
And we stooped so low 
C 
To reach so high. 

Verse 

A link is lost 
G 
The chain undone.

We wait all day

For night to come

And it comes like a hunter child. 
A                 F

You're all that's left to hold on to. 
F                       C 

We see love, slowly stripped away 
G                      D 
Our love has seen its better day. 
F                       C

Lights go down on Red Hill
