The Ghost of You Walks - Richard Thompson

Transcribed by Phillip Saunders

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 F#
Seems more like a beginning to me


G# C#       D#
At least we tried
G#       C#      D#
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
Blue murder on the dance floor
C#                   Fm
French kisses in the rain
C#                   Fm
Blood wedding in the water
C#     D#        G#
Till I see you again
C#    D#             G#
Dutch courage is the game
        C#       D#  G#
And the ghost of you walks


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, it won't let go
E
Got some kind of a mind of its own
F#m                                       E F#
I can't break out and I can't break in


G# C#       D#
At least we lived
G#      C#       D#
Took it all at a rush
G# C#       D#
At least we loved too much
G#             C                  Fm
Felt too much, cared too much

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