Ragged Old Town chords by Brown Bird

Chords with lyrics

Pretty straightforward tab, Just a few variations on A minorAm DmDm and E MajorE throughout


         A minorAm             DmDm
She's the dying heart of this ragged old town
     A minorAm                     E MajorE
She done dug her own grave in the rocky soil ground
      A minorAm                   DmDm
But now she know she ain't gonna lay down until the wolf has gone away
           A minorAm      E MajorE          A minorAm
And the hunter come around no one knows what's come around

          A minorAm             DmDm
And in the golden days of the terror-less time
          A minorAm                         E MajorE
She never needed anybody around tell her how to keep her worries in line
         A minorAm                   DmDm
But now she won't go outside to see that there ain't no wolf just a boy in the street
           A minorAm       E MajorE       A minorAm
Howlin' up into the sky, don't they howl into the sky?

Chorus:
DmDm              A minorAm
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
DmDm           E MajorE
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
DmDm                A minorAm
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
    A minorAm           E MajorE           A minorAm
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away

Verse 3: Guitar cuts to percussive knocking on the body (bass chords follow the same pattern)

And in the cold dark night, creakin' on wood floors and walls
Paralyzed by the fear of the fright she won't move a muscle at all
She cries, "Oh Lord come and take me away! Stood all I can now I can't stand to stay.
Send ole Gabriel down, don't he always come around?"

Chorus:
DmDm              A minorAm
Don't you hear the sound of ghosts comin' from the grave?
DmDm            E MajorE
Don't you do it like we done when we had our way?
DmDm                A minorAm
There ain't no knight no haunted hero gonna save the day
    A minorAm          E MajorE           A minorAm
So get off the floor and move on before you whither away

Instrumental Outro follows the same pattern as the chorus, ending on A minorAm
