^GFrom father to son, ^Cthe blood runs thin ^DOoh, see faces frozen still, ^Aagainst the wind ^GThe seam is split, ^Cthe coal face cracked ^GThe lines are long, ^Cthere's no going back ^GThrough hands of steel ^Cand a heart of stone ^GOur labour day ^Chas come and gone^D

And you ^Aleave me holding on In ^FRed Hill Town, see lights go down, oh

R:^GI'm hanging on ^D You're all that's left to ^Fhold on to ^CI'm ill waiting ^GI'm hanging on^D You're all that's left to ^Fhold on to

^GThe glass is cut, ^Cthe bottle runs dry ^GOur love runs cold ^Cin 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 holding on In Red Hill Town, as the lights go down

^GWe wait all day ^Cfor the night to ^Dcome And it ^Amcomes Like a hunter ^Fchild

^GLove ^Dslowly stripped away ^FLove, has ^Cseen a better day

^GI'm hanging on ^D Lights go down on ^FRed Hill Town ^C Lights go down on ^GRed Hill ^D Lights go down on ^FRed Hill Town ^C Lights go down on ^GmajRed Hill
