*You can play a regular C instead of C/G. Both are fine but I think C/G sounds nicer.
**You can also play a regular F instead of C/F. Again, they both sound pretty
close, but I think C/F sounds nicer. All down to personal preference =)
 
 
[Intro - C/G, C/F, C/G]
 
        C/F              C/G
To them ghosts who write history books,
         C/F              C/G
All them ghosts who write songs,
    Am       C/F            G               C/G    C/F   C/G
Now everyone asks would you write one about me,
        C/F           C/G
To them ghosts in the train yard,
         C/F          C/G
All them ghosts in my drink,
     Am        C/F             G          C/G      C/F   C/G
Your moneys no good here, just write one about me.
 
 
             Am           C/F        C/G
And when you go where the winds are strong,
         Am        C/F    C/G
When you go where flowers bend,
Am           C/F          G          Am
Please take along all the best of my luck,
    G           C/G
And come back unchanged,
          G          C/G            C/F     C/G
With your demons all tamed and your flowers uncut.

And when you go where the winds are strong,

Where soldiers carve their stones,
Am           C/F          G          Am
Please take along all the best of my luck,
    G           C/G
