Original Artist - Ghost Town guitar chord

Ghost Town

written 2005

INTRO: C#m G# F#m E (2x)

C#m G#

Nobody knows what went on in this town

F#m E

There was a drug operation 'til the law shut 'em down

C#m G#

They moved the men and women and the children out west

F#m E B C#m

Though they argued and they fussed it was all for the best

C#m G#

The newspapers told it with obvious joy

F#m E

About how Harold Johnson done murdered his boy

C#m G#

How he shot his wife and his neighor and his friends

F#m E B C#m

He even shot the mayor 'fore the law shot him

CHORUS 1:

G# F#m

They say that Harold Johnson still walks these streets

E C#m

I ain't seen 'im yet but some folks I meet

G# F#m

Say don't go to his house or you'll go down

E F#m B C#m

Be careful where you step in this Ghost Town

INTRO

The land was sanctioned and rumored with gold

Too many people listened to the stories told

When that first night fell and the shots rang out

People found out what this town was about

CHORUS 2:

They say you'll die here before you're old

And they say you better listen to what you're told

The call of the whipoorwill echoes around

Be careful where you sleep in this Ghost Town

BREAK

There's a road that snakes through the heart of town square

It's hidden by the dust and the ghosts in the air

No one around to hear your screams

Just weeds and dirt and blood on the streets

CHORUS 3:

They say blood spilt still stains this earth

That tears are mixed in with the mud and the dirt

A lonesome wind makes a constant howl

Ain't no place to pray in this Ghost Town

Every life lost still haunts this ground

Be careful where you step in this Ghost Town
