The Ghost Of You Walks

Richard Thompson


Tom: Fm

E
If that was our goodbye kiss
E
Seems a habit too good to miss
F#m                       E
Once more for the memory
E
Hit the heights too well that time
E
To leave it there would be a crime
F#m                       E
Seems more like a beginning to me

[Chorus 1]
G#   C#       D#    G#       C#      D#
At least we tried, took the biggest bite
G#           C#
At least we did it right
G#                      C              Fm
With all our souls and all our might

C#                  Fm            C#                   Fm
Blue murder on the dance floor, French kisses in the rain
C#                  Fm       C#     D#     G#
Blood wedding in the water, until I see you again
C#      D#            G#    C#     D#            G#
Dutch courage is the game and the ghost of you walks
C#    D#          G#      C#     D#       E
The ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks

[Verse 2]
E
The ghost of you walks right through my head
E
Sleepwalks at the foot of my bed
F#m                        E
Sends old shivers over my skin
E
Love like that, won't let go
E
It's got some kind of a mind of its own
F#m                            E
I can't break out and I can't break in

[Chorus 2]
G#   C#       D#    G#     C#        D#
At least we lived, took it all at a rush
G#           C#
At least we loved too much
G#              C              Fm
Felt too much, cared too much

C#                  Fm            C#                   Fm
Blue murder on the dance floor, French kisses in the rain
C#                  Fm       C#     D#     G#
Blood wedding in the water, until I see you again
C#      D#            G#    C#     D#            G#
Dutch courage is the game and the ghost of you walks
C#    D#          G#      C#     D#       E
The ghost of you walks, the ghost of you walks
