Gun Club: "Ghost On The Highway" (from the "Fire Of Love" album)
intro: 8 times F# (4x guitar only, 4x the entire band)
F# A F# E A E
It's cloudy in the west...it looks like rain
F# A F# E A E
my eyes are black holes...and i'm burning away
C# B E
you slaughtered your loving man, killed him in his sleep
C# B E
the blood and crying of your murder simply stains your sheets
F# A E
Now, you're a ghost on the highway
F# A E
your gesture is meaningless
F# A E
you're lost to the living men
F# A E
trailing souls to the end
You thought winning as a woman, meant failing as a friend
it is nor an art statement, to drown a few passionate men
you made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes
you claim because they want your shine they deserve to walk the line
You're a ghost on the highway
your gesture is meaningless
you're lost forever to the living men
trailing souls to the end
instrumental: 2x E F#
C# B E
Oh yes, I would give you my love, so my soul would not starve
C# B E
but, it could never move the honest rock of what you really are
You're a ghost on the highway
you're like straw and meaningless
I hate you, but I love you
I'll carry that to the end
If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep
if I ever closed my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me
you are simply a liar, an animal who bluffs and steals
until you become a bigger creature's meal
You're a ghost on the highway
your trash and meaningless
I hate you, but I love you
I'll carry that to the end
Like a ghost on the highway
like a ghost on the highway
ah, you lost on the highway
you lost on the highway
end: F#
