[VERSE ONE]

Ever since my baby left me

E F# C# E F#

You know this ghost town ain't no fun no more

She stole my heart away from me and then she

E F# C# E F#

Dropped it on the floor

My outsides are tough

E F# C# E F#

Hellbent leather overcoat of what once was a man

But inside's a little broken hearted boy

E F# C#

Whose feelings he cannot stand

[CHORUS]

E F# C#

I've got those ghost town blues

The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind

I feel like an undertaker

E F# C# E F#

Dressed in black but no one left for dead

She left me in a heartbeat

E F# C# E F#

And now there's no one left to sleep in my bed

Where laughs and cries and memories were once

E F# C# E F#

Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust

And an empty graveyard feeling that began once

E F# C# E F#

Just as a childhood lust

[CHORUS]

E F# C#

I've got those ghost town blues

With nothing left to lose

My pontiac spits back feelings of contempt out the exhaust

A hundred miles an hour down a highway

E F# C# E F#

Well I'm beat up and I'm lost

She's gone and I know it, like an outlaw she ran for the hills

And I'll start a brand new life with a new girl

E F# C#

And those same old ghost town thrills

[CHORUS]

E F# C#

I've got those ghost town blues

E F# C#

With nothing left to lose

The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
