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
