Guitar chords with lyrics
Another great song, from another great Michigan band. Transcribed by DWdrummer67.
And, as always... enjoy!
Tuning: Standard (Capo 5th fret)
Intro: D, G B5, A, G, D
D G
In a thousand empty bottles… in a hundred burned out cars
B5 A G D
In a house up in the Catskills… in all the honky-tonks and bars
D G
All the way across the airwaves, and all the way around this land
B5 A G D G B5 A G
The ghost of Richard Manuel is… walking like a natural man
D G
Well last night around the campfire… we got high on homemade wine
B5 A G D
We passed around the guitar… and tried to sing “Whispering Pines”
D G
And in every sweet falsetto… that was more than I could stand
B5 A G D G B5 A G
Was the ghost of Richard Manuel just… walking like a natural man
D G
Along the keys of my piano… in the kick and in the snare
B5 A G D
In getting your kicks off of parlor tricks… and in a hound dog’s hungry stare
D G
Well He’s getting frozen up in Canada, and burned in the south land
B5 A G D G B5 A G
But the ghost of Richard Manuel still… walking like a natural man
Short Break: D G B5 A G
D G
There’s a room full of nicotine poets... three harmony guitars
B5 A G D
And a shopworn tack piano… with 32 bars
D G
And the Victrola’s in the corner… spinning “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”
B5 A G D
And the ghost of Richard Manuel is… walking like a natural man
G B5 A
Hey, Hey Richard… Hey, Hey Richard
G A G D
Richard won’t you sing us… “Tears of Rage” just one more time
