The Old Zimbabwe Ghost - John Edmond

G+G      D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD

G+G              E minorEm          C majorC       D MajorD
Many tales I've heard of the soap stone bird, so I went along to see,
   G+G        E minorEm        C majorC      D MajorD
The acropolis and the passages and the temple masonry
    C majorC       D MajorD         G+G         E minorEm
But it all looked so familiar, like I've been there once before
  C majorC          G+G            C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
I felt my mind slipping back in time and when I saw him then I knew for sure

G+G      D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD

     G+G           E minorEm       C majorC         D MajorD
He came down the stairs in his courtiers and a soldier left and right
   G+G          E minorEm         C majorC        D MajorD
And his burnished golden bangles gave off a mystic kind of light
   C majorC            D MajorD          G+G       E minorEm
His eyes were black and they took me back as they bored into my soul
   C majorC           G+G          C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
And then the smile and we spoke a while of the medieval days of old


Chorus:
    C majorC     D MajorD      G+G  E minorEm      C majorC         D MajorD
And the peace of mind and the quietness were the things I loved the most
  C majorC     G+G        C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
As I sat reminiscing with the old Zimbabwe Ghost

G+G      D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD

        G+G          E minorEm       C majorC         D MajorD
Those were the days my son we were rich my son Independent wise and free
    G+G     E minorEm     C majorC        D MajorD
form horizon to horizon our riches held the key
   C majorC         D MajorD           G+G       E minorEm
But then they came in love sweet name to our bastion in the sky
   C majorC             G+G          C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
And just like the ways of the world today for the cause of greed to die


Chorus:
    C majorC    D MajorD      G+G   E minorEm      C majorC         D MajorD
And the peace of mind and the quietness were the things I loved the most
  C majorC     G+G        C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
As I sat reminiscing with the old Zimbabwe Ghost

G+G      D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD


   G+G      E minorEm       C majorC      D MajorD
Then suddenly the reality of the day was all around
     G+G         E minorEm         C majorC    D MajorD
And the footprints were the ancient stood were fading in ground
   C majorC       D MajorD          G+G         E minorEm
I was misty eyed as again I died and the people stopped to stare
   C majorC           G+G       C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
As I watched my host the Zimbabwe Ghost go melting in the air


Chorus X 2
    C majorC           G+G         C majorC         D MajorD
And the peace of mind and the quietness were the things I loved the most
  C majorC     G+G        C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
As I sat reminiscing with the old Zimbabwe Ghost

G+G      D MajorD       G+G        D MajorD
