[INTRO]
C# E F#
C# E F#
[VERSE ONE]
C#
Ever since my baby left me
E F# C# E F#
You know this ghost town ain't no fun no more
C#
She stole my heart away from me and then she
E F# C# E F#
Dropped it on the floor
C#
My outsides are tough
E F# C# E F#
Hellbent leather overcoat of what once was a man
C#
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
E F# C#
With nothing left to lose
E F# C#
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
E F# C#
I've got those ghost town blues
E F# C# E F# C# E F#
Mmm-hmmmm yeah
[VERSE TWO]
C#
I feel like an undertaker
E F# C# E F#
Dressed in black but no one left for dead
C#
She left me in a heartbeat
E F# C# E F#
And now there's no one left to sleep in my bed
C#
Where laughs and cries and memories were once
E F# C# E F#
Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust
C#
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
E F# C#
With nothing left to lose
E F# C#
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
E F# C#
I've got those ghost town blues
E F#
Mmm-hmmmm yeah

[VERSE THREE]
C# E F# C# E F#
My pontiac spits back feelings of contempt out the exhaust
C#
A hundred miles an hour down a highway
E F# C# E F#
Well I'm beat up and I'm lost
C# E F# C# E F#
She's gone and I know it, like an outlaw she ran for the hills
C#
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
E F# C#
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
