Chords with lyrics
from their 1991 album "Superstition"
I play this capoed on 4 so I don't have to barre so much, making G#G# played
like E MajorE and C#C# played like A. But to keep things accurate I'm noting chords
as if there is no capo. And I've tried, but you really do play the chords
that far up the neck to match the notes the keyboard is playing. Each chord gets one measure.
G#G# - 4 6 6 5 4 4
F minorFm - 8 8 10 10 9 8
C#C# - 4 4 6 6 6 4
BbmBbm - 6 8 8 6 6 6
THE GHOST IN YOU - by Siouxsie and the Banshees
-----------------------------------------------
G#G# F minorFm C#C# G#G#
You a- G#G# -woke in a burning F minorFm paperhouse
from the C#C# infinite fields
of G#G# dreamless sleep
You re- F minorFm -turn to Ti- C#C# -annammen
an eye- G#G# -witness in a shroud
to see them BbmBbm fall, feel them F minorFm yield
re- BbmBbm -living the terror F minorFm of the crowd
CHORUS:
C#C# Hold the whirlwind, don't BbmBbm let it blow
F minorFm just for a moment I G#G# seemed to know
C#C# Hold the whirlwind, don't BbmBbm let it blow
I F minorFm seemed to know G#G# the ghost in you
G#G# F minorFm
The G#G# whisper of your scream sighed through the F minorFm air
and C#C# faith-the flag is G#G# torn and frayed
inferno F minorFm heat, glory C#C# in flame
love was beaten G#G# and betrayed
In every BbmBbm step I hear your F minorFm sobbing
dare I BbmBbm break the shade with F minorFm one caress?
CHORUS:
C#C# Dare I trespass to BbmBbm lift the veil
to F minorFm touch the lips so G#G# soft and frail?
C#C# Hold the whirlwind, don't BbmBbm let it blow
I F minorFm seemed to know the G#G# ghost in you
G#G# F minorFm C#C# G#G#
Your captive BbmBbm heart, the be- F minorFm -lief you share
with a BbmBbm kiss eternal, the spirits F minorFm of the square
C#C# Hold the whirlwind, don't BbmBbm let it blow
F minorFm Hope remains with the G#G# ghost in you
C#C# Hold the whirlwind, don't BbmBbm let it blow
I F minorFm seemed to know the G#G# ghost in you
C#C# don't BbmBbm let it blow F minorFm
G#G# the ghost in you C#C# BbmBbm F minorFm
G#G# the ghost in you C#C# BbmBbm F minorFm G#G#
