Ghost In This Guitar
By The Ranch
Em
Down the drainpipe cross the yard and through the fence
D Em
I risked a whoopin’ every time I went
C
Cause white boys weren't allowed
G
On the coloured side of town
Am
But I was proud to call
B7
That old black man my friend
He had a pillow on the bed he used to pray on
And a beat up old guitar he let me play on
I knew where my fingers went
From his greasy fingerprints
Yeah he was passing on
What was handed down to him
CHORUS:
C G
And it soaked up all the blood and sweat and teardrops
D Em
and the beers he missed in smoky little bars
C G
And sometimes that old man he comes alive in my hands
Am B7
I feel the beating of his sad old broken heart
C D
Just like there's a ghost in this guitar
A
A ghost in this guitar
Well the night before he died he made me take it
He said "You play it know 'cause I gotta go”
And I can feel him in my fingers when I play it
'Cause sometimes I'm in control
And sometimes I just sit back and let him go
Sit back and let him go
Chorus

Look at the note above - this is the bootleg version off CMT, not the recorded version that was released on an album. I will go re-listen but I think he changed the words...

-Jerry5150 | 9/8/2004 | The "In the Ranch" CD is an ECD. You just pop it into the CDROM drive of your computer and the options to play it will pop up. -urbanriffs | 9/9/2004 |
