Ghost Town Acoustic Chords & Lyrics Artist: Passenger

Capo:5th fret

For the Am7** in the intro, he plays the open strings and hammers on to both D and B strings. For the F*
chords he does a quick hammer on to the 2nd fret of the G string. The notes in parentheses are individual
walking notes. For the (D E) he slides on the B string, for the (G A) he slides on the high E string. Where
I have listed the Fmaj7 in the instrumental passage, it seems to be the only time he plays the high E string
during an F chord in this song. For the Em he generally avoids the high E string, but when he does play it,
he adds the pinky on fret 3.

VERSE 1
C         Gsus4      C
  Take a walk in a ghost town
          Dm         Am7         G  Gsus4 G
Where the sky's as black as crows
     Em                        Am7
They don't make cars like they used to here
Fsus2         Am7
Times, they change
F           Am7     Gsus4
Factories close
 
C         Gsus4      C
  Take a ride on a ghost train
    Dm            Am7    G  Gsus4 G
And stare out the windows
Em                    Am7
Time moves fast as a hurricane
    F*         Am7
But it's so strange
   F*         Am7
It feels so slow
 
 
CHORUS
      G                     C
Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here
 Fsus2           Am7
Hey, I swear it burns
    G                     C                     Fsus2
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
G                    C
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
Fsus2         Am7
I can see it turn
    G              C                Fsus2
The emptiness that moves within my soul
Fsus2
Down in the ghost town

VERSE 2
        C            Gsus4
See the crash in the rust
        C          Gsus4
See the ash in the dust
        Dm       Am7           G
Feel it slipping through your hands
Em                             Am7
Falling on the shoes and the shoulders
       Fsus2     Am7   Gsus4
Of the ragged man
 
        C             Gsus4
See the pride and the shame
     C            G
Like fire and the flame
 Dm          Am7      G
Burn through every man
    Em                     Am7
And drops 'em like drunken soldiers
       Fsus2      Am7
On the river banks

Yeah, sometimes it gets so dark in here
Fsus2            Am7
I can see it turn
    G              C                Fsus2
The emptiness that moves within my soul

Way on down in the ghost town
