Tuning: D G C F A D
From The '59 Sound Sessions. Lyrics are from Genius, please let me know if something is incorrect.
Gaslight would always tune down a whole step (DGCFAD) and I'm sure this demo was no exception,
so I tabbed it accordingly, but if you want to play in standard, just transpose up two semitones
so the first chord reads "C".
[Intro]
D G A (x4)
[Verse 1]
In the mDiddle of the night
Aeveryone is sGleeping
Once the bDands have died down
And our brothers and our sAisters have gGone
I feel the sDhaking in my sides
conscious and famGiliar
I pace some uDnfamiliar street
Until I pass out or calm down enGough
And I cBman't tell you how dAesperate
some times have gGotten A
[Chorus]
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on MarGia A
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I'm coming hGome A
DHold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I nearly lGost you A
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I'm coming hGome A
[Verse 2]
And in the mDiddle of the day
when the hAeat keeps on rGising
The fear of sDickness or breakdown or infideliAty
Makes its rGounds
And in the dDrag of the late afternoon
settling in into eGvening
Well, that I jDust can't describe
with a dry eye or American wGords
And I cBman't tell you how many tAimes
I just want to lGie down A
[Chorus]
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on MarGia A
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I'm coming hGome A
DHold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I nearly lGost you A
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I'm coming hGome A
[Interlude]
Bm G D A (x2)
[Bridge]
You and your hBmigh-top sneakers
and your sGailor tattoos
And your oDld fifty-five
that you dArove through the roof
Of the sBmky up above these indGifferent stars
While you jDust kept coming apAart
[Chorus]
N.C.
Hold on, hold on, hold on!You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on MarGia A
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
I'm coming hGome A
These rDecords and these bands and ? really mGatter A
To these hDands and these arms and
this tired Irish heart made of sGtone A
[Outro]
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
GHold on, hold on, hold oAn, hold on
You gotta just hDold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
GHold on, hold on, hold oAn, hold on D A G
