Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
Where the river keeps on rollin', time marches on
F# minorF#m
The sun hides in the shadows, you know where you belong
B minorBm                      F# minorF#m
You walk in the silence readin' names on the stones
D MajorD                     C#C#
You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide
     A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
From the ghost of Macon Jones

Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
Well they always came to church, sat up in the back
F# minorF#m
Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black
B minorBm                       F# minorF#m
Away from the rich folk where they let down his bones
     D MajorD       C#C#
Now they whisper at the sermons
         A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones

Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
From the time he was a child, it was easy to make friends
F# minorF#m
Some swore they found, right up to the end
     B minorBm                          F# minorF#m
When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home
     D MajorD                C#C#
They all cried to their mommas that they saw
  A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
The ghost of Macon Jones

Middle 8?:
    B minorBm   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
In the nights, right along
     A augmentedA  E MajorE       F# minorF#m
In your fight, just stay strong

    B minorBm      A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
In the ill-fated wind, just go
     A augmentedA       E MajorE         F# minorF#m
Yeah you need to unlearn, what you've been told

Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
No one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie
F# minorF#m
Widows swear he loved 'em, he was born to make them cry
 B minorBm                            F# minorF#m
Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go at this life alone

   A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
The ghost of Macon Jones

Verse 4:
F# minorF#m
Some say he died, with a smile on his face
F# minorF#m
Others say he cried, he never found his place
    B minorBm                        F# minorF#m
If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan
          D MajorD
When they start digging up your dirt

You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones
     D MajorD             C#C#
If you see your reflection in the water
