The Ghost Of Cincinnati

Dm C G F C G

Dm                  C             G
The bell tolls noon on 12th and Vine
F                 C        G
And I still need this overtime
                 Dm
'Cause I'm over myself
              C
I'm over the hill
              G
I'm Over-the-Rhine
                   F    C     
For the millionth time, for the 
             G
millionth time

[Verse 1]
Dm               C               
I park at this spot and stare at 
     G
the water
F                C          
Try to remember I'm somebody's 
     G
father
Dm             C              G
Dawn commute across Covington Bridge
                F     C           
Get lost in my head, just looking 
    G
at it
                     Dm
Now I'm looking at you
C                      G
Through the hole in my sheet
F                C       G
And I still need this overtime

[Chorus]
                   Dm
'Cause I'm over myself
              C
I'm over the hill
              G
I'm Over-the-Rhine
               F         C    
For the millionth timе, for the 
             G
millionth time
         Dm
I'm overspеnt
     C
Overworked
       G
Overlooked
              F
I'm Over-the-Rhine
 C                G
For the millionth time

[Verse 2]
Dm                C               
Cut through Ault Park 'cause it's 
 G
safe now
F            C              G
I stalk the streets in my nightgown
Dm              C               G
The Ghost of Cincinnati slinks past
F              C                 
I smell your coffee, can you 
   G
taste that?
Dm                  C          G
My lip on your cup won't even feel 
real
F                   C           G
I'm rushing there, all the way there

[Chorus]
                  Dm
'Cause I'm over myself
              C
I'm over the hill
              G
I'm Over-the-Rhine
               F         C    
For the millionth timе, for the 
             G
millionth time
         Dm
I'm overspеnt
     C
Overworked
       G
Overlooked
              F
I'm Over-the-Rhine
         C         G
For the millionth time
                Dm
I feel over my head
          C
Over the hill
           G
I'm over myself
               F
I'm Over-the-Rhine
         C        G
For the millionth time


[Bridge]
Em
Stalk the spring grove
C
Rot in my old clothes
G
Pardon Pete Rose
       Am              C
And wonder why the evil grows
Em
Now I'm in the big time?
C
Not a suicide
     G
I'd stalk the streets
           Am           C
And haunt you from the northside
Em
I pace the hedge row
C
Dodge the low blows
G
Play the Fountain Square
     Am               C
And wonder where my cousins go
Em
I haunt the northside
C
Stop the traffic lights
G
Cycle up Price Hill
     Am              C
And stare up at the Pepsi sign
