Intro: E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm ... C majorC E minorEm C majorC Em...

E minorEm       D MajorD   E minorEm
Swing swing, gallows swing
C majorC           E minorEm
From anger back to sorrow
D MajorD           E minorEm
Morning gets what midnight brings
   G+G       D MajorD
And I?ll be dead tomorrow
        E minorEm
Just another ghost

E minorEm           D MajorD E minorEm  C majorC        E minorEm
My wife left me last wintertime to join another man
D MajorD          C majorC      G+G         D MajorD
I lost her love forever and I lost my mind right then
     E minorEm         G+G        D MajorD       E minorEm
When I tried but couldn?t picture her sweet face inside my head
     C majorC       G+G         D MajorD         E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
I could only see her lover?s grin, it?s true I killed him dead

 E minorEm            D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC         E minorEm
But I?ve always been an honest man, as crystal as the sea
D MajorD           C majorC             G+G           D MajorD
I?ve always said when I?ve done wrong, and I?ve said when wrong?s done me
   E minorEm      G+G       D MajorD           E minorEm
So listen to my warning though I know it might sound strange
    C majorC       G+G       D MajorD       E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
To those who cast condoning eyes upon me when I hang

 E minorEm         D MajorD      E minorEm   C majorC            E minorEm
And let me tell you what I?ve learned, what my guilty mind has seen
D MajorD          C majorC          G+G         D MajorD
Of life and then of death and then how ghosts get stuck between
      E minorEm         G+G          D MajorD          E minorEm
There?s no slamming doors, no rattling chains, no long black veils at night
      C majorC        G+G            D MajorD         E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
But you?d wish there was cause then you might could die to put things right

E minorEm             D MajorD  E minorEm     C majorC         E minorEm
But ghosts have got no bodies left, and ghosts have got no will
        D MajorD       C majorC         G+G          D MajorD
There just etchings on your conscience by the hands that had them killed
     E minorEm         G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
And the world it all looks yellow now, and every breath is foul
     C majorC         G+G           D MajorD       E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
And the water tastes like rancid oil, and the mockingbirds just howl

E minorEm            D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC        E minorEm
You can never touch someone you love, it?ll burn them if you try
     D MajorD        C majorC            G+G         D MajorD
And the face inside the mirror stares back with goldfish bowls for eyes
     E minorEm      G+G        D MajorD      E minorEm
And the only dream you ever have is of lying there awake
     C majorC     G+G     D MajorD            E minorEm
And it never rains upon your head, it spits into your face

E minorEm       C majorC   G+G   D MajorD      E minorEm
A augmentedA ghost has haunted me -- and worn me thin
C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
I got what I deserved a thousand times again
E minorEm     C majorC G+G   D MajorD      E minorEm
Oh listen please -- my final words
C majorC          G+G          D MajorD        E minorEm
Before you bring yourself to watch the final length of cord

E minorEm              D MajorD     E minorEm     C majorC        E minorEm
Cause ghosts don?t die when hands take hands, and ghosts are not released
D MajorD            C majorC       G+G         D MajorD
It?s dust to dust and ash to ash, or beast and back to beast
  E minorEm         G+G           D MajorD       E minorEm
I hope your heart is large and that there?s room enough in you
     C majorC         G+G          D MajorD          E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
For the ghost you choose to make of me and the ghost that haunts me, too

E minorEm       D MajorD    E minorEm
Swing swing, gallows swing
C majorC           E minorEm
From anger back to sorrow
D MajorD          E minorEm
Hide your eyes and wash your wings
    G+G       D MajorD
Cause I?ll be dead tomorrow
         E minorEm
Just another ghost
