[Verse 1]
F#m
Where the river keeps on rollin', time marches on
F#m
The sun hides in the shadows, you know where you belong
Bm F#m
You walk in the silence readin' names on the stones
D C#
You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide
A F#m
From the ghost of Macon Jones
[Verse 2]
F#m
Well they always came to church, sat up in the back
F#m
Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black
Bm F#m
Away from the rich folk where they let down his bones
D C#
Now they whisper at the sermons
A F#m
They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones
[Verse 3]
F#m
From the time he was a child, it was easy to make friends
F#m
Some swore they found, right up to the end
Bm F#m
When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home
D C#
They all cried to their mommas that they saw
A F#m
The ghost of Macon Jones
[Middle 8?]
Bm A F#m
In the nights, right along
A E F#m
In your fight, just stay strong
Bm A F#m
In the ill-fated wind, just go
A E F#m
Yeah you need to unlearn, what you've been told

[Verse 3]
F#m
No one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie
F#m
Widows swear he loved 'em, he was born to make them cry
Bm F#m
Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go at this life alone
D C#
If you head down that cold river you'll feel
A F#m
The ghost of Macon Jones
[Verse 4]
F#m
Some say he died, with a smile on his face
F#m
Others say he cried, he never found his place
Bm F#m
If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan
D
When they start digging up your dirt
C# A F#m
You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones
D C#
If you see your reflection in the water
A F#m
That's the ghost of Macon Jones
