Clinging On For Life
The Hoosiers
Text File
Very simple and gorgeous song! Standard tuning. I think this is accurate!
All of it is finger-picked like this:
D- 3, 5-6, 4, 5-6
Cmin- 2, 5-6, 3, 5-6
Gmin- 3, 5-6, 4, 5-6
Emin- 3, 5-6, 4, 5-6
A- 2, 5-6, 3, 5-6
G- 1, 5-6, 2, 5-6
E- 3, 5-6, 4, 5-6
All strings going 1-6 from low E to high E
Also quite nice just strumming gently...
Intro chords as first line
D Cmin Gmin Emin
I need you to reach me, teach me how to love
D Cmin Gmin A
I need you to reach me, teach me how to learn
G A
Cos I must have got it wrong,
Cmin
If I had love then it's gone
E G
I've been living without it for oh so long
A
But that's the way it goes, I suppose
Chorus:
D Cmin
We made enough mistakes between
G
The two of us to sink this thing

We're still clinging on for life
Cmin
We made enougn mistakes between
G
The two of us to sink this thing
A
We're still clinging on for life
