Head Hang Low

[Intro ]
C F C 


[Verso 1]
 
C 
We walk a careful line 
       F                 C 
'Tween strangers killing time 
                F     G   Gsus4 G 
And me dragging by my nose 
       Am               C 
I hope heaven's just as good 
        E7           F 
Like we all think it should 
      C        G         C 
Don't let your head hang low 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     C 
Some things you can't unsay 
         F          C 
Wouldn't want to anyway 
                F       G   Gsus4 G 
Some things you can't unknow 
     Am         C 
Just try not to choke 
       E7                   F 
On the words caught in your throat 
      C        G         C 
Don't let your head hang low

[Verso 3]
 
      C 
Don't give up your hope 
        F                 C 
All the same don't let it grow 
               F        G Gsus4 G 
Don't let your tears show 
      Am               C 
Stand tall tie up your coat 
     E7                 F 
Walk proud and calm and slow 
      C        G         C 
Don't let your head hang low 
 


[Verso 4]
 
    C 
The ugly restless crowd 
          F              C 
Cries and shouts way too loud 
             F        G Gsus4 G 
And much too dense to show 
          Am            C 
Won't you climb the sycamore 
               E7         F 
'Cause I can't see him anymore 
          C        G         C 
And don't let your head hang low

[Verso 5]
 
    C 
Too covered up with shame 
   F               C 
To find some other way 
            F       G 
To turn yourself to stone 
      Am            C 
It'll never let you win 
  E7                  F 
Unless you breathe it in 
         C        G         C 
So don't let your head hang low 
 


[Verso 6]
 
         C 
Spin the wheels watch 'em roll 
    F                C 
All along the gravel road 
                   F        G Gsus4 G 
By the woods where we would go 
  Am            C 
I will remember you 
   E7                F 
As you would want me to 
         C        G         C 
So don't let your head hang low 
 

Outro 
  Am            C 
I will remember you 
   E7                F 
As you would want me to 
         C        G         C 
So don't let your head hang low
