[Intro]
Am, C, G
[Verse]
Am C G Am
Well I'd like to be enjoying the height of a giant
Am C G
Or the will of a great chiefs son
Am C G Am
But I'm somewhere in the middle, with my feet slippin' off the pedals
Am G Am
I'm a two legged bended, wounded knee
Am C G Am
And my silence turned to thoughts, am I in constant disbelief
Am C G
I exist personified as the truth
Am C G Am
Do I live life like a thief, or am I just reading energy
Am G Am
That which I teach, through my teeth, becomes what I preach
Am C G Am
Oh I sure would like to live without the burden of commitment
Am C G
Not attached to any person, place or thing
Am C G Am
But it's such a heavy load to carry nowhere alone
Am G Am
I am hopeful but tiring
[Chorus]
Am G Am
Because some of us are ghost embodied
Am C G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am G Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
Am G C G
It was never really ever the-ere
Am G Am
It was never really ever there
[Instrumental]
Am, C, G
[Verse]
Am C G Am
Well I sure would like to thrust all my shadows to the dust
Am C G
Or purify and may justice be served
Am C G Am
Such an old man for a young man, understanding what he can
Am G Am
Of a blessing and of a curse
Am C G Am
I'm a ghost taking a form, a very temporary form
Am C G
May it be uncommonly found in a grove
Am C G Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
Am G Am
And I know I don't seek this alone
Am G Am
Yes I know I don't seek this alone
[Chorus]
Am G Am
Because some of us are ghosts embodied
Am C G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am G Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
Am G C G
It was never really ever the-ere
Am G Am
It was never really ever there
[Instrumental]
Am, C, G
[Verse]
Am C G Am
Well I'd like to set afoot, and have myself a look
Am C G
'Round the bend of the great red road
Am C G Am
I would offer up a pipe, for the chorus for my life
Am G Am
With the guidance and wisdom to know
Tha-A-at
Am G Am
Some of us are ghost embodied
Am C G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am G Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
Am G C G
It was never really ever the-ere
Am G Am
It was never really ever there
Am C G Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
Am G Am
And I know I don't seek this alone (x2)
