DmShe a memory a holy ghost 
Ca glimpse of all he once loved most
AmShe wanders like a whisper through the hDmallways
When day gives into dark of night
CDreams that die in sunlight
AmHe sees her shadow standing in the doorwDmay
She comes to him both sure and slow
CHey there honey why you all alone
AmComing home to keep your lonely heart wDmarm
He reaches for her standing there
CHe longs to touch her cold black hair’
Ambut she vanishes into the dust she came Dmfrom
You can’t hitch your pony to a burning post
CYou cant stop time not even close
AmPut a handle on the holy ghost not Dmever

He feels her presence everywhere

He reaches for her to touch the flame
CBut she’s already so far away
AmShe’s left him with a thousand pale momeDmntos

Key:

No Capo

Dm C Am Dm

Intro:

She a memory a holy ghost

a glimpse of all he once loved most

Am Dm

She wanders like a whisper through the hallways

When day gives into dark of night

Dreams that die in sunlight

Am Dm

He sees her shadow standing in the doorway

She comes to him both sure and slow

Hey there honey why you all alone

Am Dm

Coming home to keep your lonely heart warm

He reaches for her standing there

He longs to touch her cold black hair’

Am Dm

but she vanishes into the dust she came from

You can’t hitch your pony to a burning post

You cant stop time not even close

Am Dm

Put a handle on the holy ghost not ever

[Bridge]

She’s a memory, a holy ghost

A sense of all he once held close

Am Dm

A blessin and a burden all together

Days falls into the night

To dull the bitter edge of sight

Am Dm

He tries his best sometimes just to forget her

He feels her presence everywhere

Smells her perfume in the air

Am Dm

She flickers like a candle in the window

He reaches for her to touch the flame

But she’s already so far away

Am Dm

She’s left him with a thousand pale momentos

Chorus…
