Frank Black - Hang On To Your Ego

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.

Verse

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?

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Chords before and during solo:

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. eadgbE 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.
