string with her first finger***
F#   B   F#   B   F#
F#I made a lot of choices Bmost have not been F#wise
F#But I have some really good friends I’vBe been fortunate to F#find
F#They get me through the lonely days Bwhen I want to stay insF#ide myself
F#They get me out of my shell Bout into the wF#orld 
F#I am C#coming back BI’m coming back F#again
F#I had C#lost everything and Bthen I got it back F#again
F#I dug myC#self so deep, Bdeep into a F#hole
F#That getting out was so C#far beyBond my contF#rol
F#In the past I’ve always had Btrouble on my F#mind
F#I’m gonna take that feeling and lBeave it far beF#hind
F#As I go down this path Btraveling through my F#fate
F#Lately I have begun Bto awF#ake
F#It started out in C#Jackson and we Bmoved across the lF#and 
F#And all the dehC#ydration turned Bsoil into F#sand
F#And then C#one day they Bhauled me aF#way
F#And I was out there, Bout on my F#own 
F#The Bthieves they came and F#went
F#They took Beverything in F#site
F#And then Bwe got it back F#again
F#Oh BI had to F#fight
F#And now then I C#woke up from tBhe middle of the strangF#est dream
F#And everyone was there that C#I ever knew and they Ball began to F#sing
F#Hold your head high just as Bhigh as you F#can
F#Things will work out soon thingBs will come round aF#gain
F#You see I’ve got this fascination with all Bthe wrong ways to F#go
F#I get lost even in the Bplaces that I F#know

Hold Your Head High - Heartless Bastards

***Played in bars, throughout the song Erika pulls-off and hammers-on the low E

string with her first finger***

F# B F# B F#

F# B F#

I made a lot of choices most have not been wise

F# B F#

But I have some really good friends I’ve been fortunate to find

F# B F#

They get me through the lonely days when I want to stay inside myself

F# B F#

They get me out of my shell out into the world

F# C# B F#

I am coming back I’m coming back again

F# C# B F#

I had lost everything and then I got it back again

F# C# B F#

I dug myself so deep, deep into a hole

F# C# B F#

That getting out was so far beyond my control

F# B F#

In the past I’ve always had trouble on my mind

F# B F#

I’m gonna take that feeling and leave it far behind

F# B F#

As I go down this path traveling through my fate

F# B F#

Lately I have begun to awake

F# C# B F#

It started out in Jackson and we moved across the land

F# C# B F#

And all the dehydration turned soil into sand

F# C# B F#

And then one day they hauled me away

F# B F#

And I was out there, out on my own

F# B F#

The thieves they came and went

F# B F#

They took everything in site

F# B F#

And then we got it back again

F# B F#

Oh I had to fight

F# C# B F#

And now then I woke up from the middle of the strangest dream

F# C# B F#

And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing

F# B F#

Hold your head high just as high as you can

F# B F#

Things will work out soon things will come round again

F# B F#

You see I’ve got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go

F# B F#

I get lost even in the places that I know

F# B F# B F# B F# B F#

F# B F#

Hold your head high just as high as you can

F# B F#

Things will work out soon things will come round again ooh

F# B F#

Hold your head high just as high as you can

F# B F#

Things will work out soon things will come round again

F# B F# B F# B F# B F#
