Ghost On The Shore Cifras

The song is in 3/4 time, so the easiest way to play it is to play the bass note
followed by two downstrokes.  The verse sections are a repeat of the intro with
each chord getting two measures.  The progression and timing vary at the bridge,
so listen to the song to get it down.
 
 
[Intro]
F  C  Dm  C
F  C  Dm  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
F                     C
I'm just a man but I know that I'm damned
         Dm                       C
All the dead seem to know where I am
    F                      C
The tale that began on the night of my birth
         Dm                   Am
Will be done in a turn of the earth
 
F                        C
Lie where I land, let my bones turn to sand
      Dm                     C
I was born on the lake and I don't wanna leave it
F                  C
  Every eye on the coast evermore
       Dm                       Am
Will remember the sight of the ghost on the shore

[Verse 2]
F                       C
Under the waves and the earth of an age
      Dm                        C
Lie a thousand old northerner's graves
F                          C
Deep in the night when the moon's glowing bright
          Dm                 Am
They come rising up into the light
 
F                     C
Die if I must, let my bones turn to dust
        Dm                     C
I'm the Lord of the lake and I don't wanna leave it
F                      C
  All who sail off the coast evermore
       Dm                      Am
Will remember the tale of the ghost on the shore

I'm goin' away for a long time

I was born on the lake and I don't wanna leave it
