C                              F C G
Helicopter in, from Los Angeles
G         C                    F C G x2
Land in Ontario, guys with cameras
      D                     C
Hey you, can I get a quick interview

G  F C G x2


[Verse 1]
G               C                  F C G x2
Beat-up stretch limousine to the speedway
       C                G            F C G
In the baking sun, stay high all day
            D                   C
Take to the stage, lords of the age


[Chorus]
C                  Bm               Am
Drums rolling like buffalo down the plain
C     Bm             Am
And I am an oncoming train
C     Em             Am
Me and the ghosts of Birmingham
C     Em             G       F C G
Me and the ghosts of Birmingham

G  F C G


[Verse 2]
              C             G       F C G
Light peaking over, rainbow behind
C                                       F C G                F C G
And the cloudless sky, and the infinite distances in my mind
            D              C
Arms in the air, sun in my hair

G


[Verse 3]
              C             G       F C G
Rise like dancers, stick the landing
C                                       F C G x2
Feel kind of beautiful, everybody here is beautiful
            D              C
That's just how I feel, and it's real


[Chorus]
C                  Bm               Am
Drums rolling like buffalo down the plain
C     Bm             Am
And I am an oncoming train
C     Em             Am
Me and the ghosts of Birmingham
C     Em             G       F C G
Me and the ghosts of Birmingham
