Ghost

      D                            
The first of March faltered like an
                              G
 ache and the hours blurred together
 in the grey
     A7                            
She didn’t change the sheets or 
make the bed, just put her cheek 
   G        D
where he once lay
      D                          
She curled up in the hollow where 
                                 G
his skin left a faint trace of mint 
& leaf
           A7                    
Where the cotton held him captive 
                   G        D
and where she’d watch him sleep

[Chorus]
      G                            
Some people move thru our lives 
                           D
then they’re gone like the morning 
rain
        A7                         
Some stand with the stillness of a 
                         G     D
soldier at his post and never change
       Bm                          
Some dance along the water line 
                     G
like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost

[Verse]
 D                                 
February stole more than the snow, 
                           G
bringing early spring to Baltimore
    A7                             
She was surprised to see him after 
all those years of leaving out the 
 G     D
alley door
      D                         
This time would be different, he 
swore it with the rapture of a 
 G
baptized man
          A7                       
His words undressed her loneliness 
               G        D
with a gospel built on sand
      G                            
Some people move thru our lives 
                         D
then they’re gone like the morning 
rain
       A7                          
Some stand with the stillness of a 
                         G    D
soldier at his post and never change
       Bm                          
Some dance along the water line 
                     G
like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost

[Bridge]
D  G   D  G     G            
               Oh my love – 
A7                 G             
Stay                Oh my love – 
       A7
I can’t wait

[Chorus]
      G                            
Some people move thru our lives 
                         D
then they’re gone like the morning 
rain
      A7                           
Some stand with the stillness of a 
                         G     D
soldier at his post and never change
     Bm                            
Some dance along the water line 
                      G
like waves against the coast
        Em                      G
Some forever haunt you like a ghost
