Ghosts That We Knew

Mumford & Sons


Tom: C

Intro:  G

Verse:
    G  G/F# Em          Em  C      G
You saw my pain, washed out in the rain
G  G/F# Em             Em        C      G
Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins
         G  G/F# Em      Em        C  G
But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart
G   G/F# Em         Em  C          G
And you knelt beside my hope torn apart

Pre-chorus:
       B7              Em        B7           Em
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
          G       D   G
And we'll live a long life

Chorus:
            C          G             D/F#           G
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
      C       G              D/F#
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
    Em     D/F#     C          G
But I will hold as long as you like
     C          D/F#        Em      C     G    Em    D
Just promise me we'll be alright

Verse:
   G  G/F#  Em
So lead me back
Em    C              G
Turn south from that place
    G    G/F# Em     Em  C      G
And close my eyes to my recent disgrace
          G   G/F# Em
Cause you know my call
Em          C       G
And we'll share my all
G       G/F#  Em               C        G
Now children come and they will hear me roar

Chorus:
            C          G             D/F#           G
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
      C       G              D/F#
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
    Em     D/F#     C          G
But I will hold as long as you like
     C          D/F#        Em      C     G    Em    D
Just promise me we'll be alright

Bridge:
    Em            C                    G
But hold me still bury my heart on the cold
    Em            C                      G
And hold me still bury my heart next to yours

Chorus:
            C          G             D/F#           G
So give me hope in the darkness that I will see the light
      C       G              D/F#
Cause oh they gave me such a fright
    Em     D/F#     C          G
But I will hold as long as you like
     C          D/F#        G
Just promise me we'll be alright

Pre-chorus/Outro:
   B7              Em            B7           Em
The ghosts that we knew made us black and all blue
          G       D   G
But we'll live a long life

       B7              Em        B7           Em
But the ghosts that we knew will flicker from view
          G       D   G
And we'll live a long life
