[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Down at the lonely crossroads
Am
Where the gypsies buried their child
G
A cigarette stub smolders
B7
from a pack of Lucky Strike.
Em
Smoke drifts in the stillness
Am
A guitar at his side
B7
The ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
waits for the Greyhound bus to ride.
[Verse 2]
Em
When you hear those bus tyres humming
Am
Glimpse the distant headlights pale
G
That's the heart beat you hear thumping
B7
From the hell hound on his trail.
Em
Better to keep moving
Am
There is no place to hide
B7
So the ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus to ride.
[Bridge]
Am
It's the shadows in your mind
Am6
That words can not express
Em
It's the shiver in your heart
When it's full of emptiness
Am
Like bottle that's been drained
Am6
And smashed and cast aside
B7
So the ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus and rides.
[Verse 3]
Em
When everything is in pieces
Am
And smashed down on the ground
G
Took the bottle by the neck
B7
Tuned the guitar down
Em
When he hits those open strings
Am
Hear that one long weeping glide ...
B7
The ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus and ride
[Instrumental]
Am Em
Am Em/B Am/C D B7
Em
[Verse 4]
Em
In the twisting restless dark
Am
When you're wishing time away
G
Know you cannot have possesion
B7
Over judgement day
Em
Betrayed by love in vain
Am
Like som altar jilted bride
B7
The ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus to ride
[Bridge]
Am
His guitar speaks for words unsung
Am6
Alight with spark and fire
Em
Seduces with a poet's tongue
Rhymes fear and dark desire
Am
Makes a man plead like a child
Am6
When his need outweighs his pride
B7
The ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus and rides.
[Verse 5]
Em
Down at the lonely crossroads
Am
Smoke drifts anticipating
G
Whichever way the wind may blow
B7
Eternity lies waiting
Em Am
Where imagination and reality collide
B7
The ghost of Robert Johnson
B7/A B/G B/F# Em
Takes the Greyhound bus to ride.
[Outro]
