[Bb]
It's hard to let go [Eb] of him he [Bb] loves the most.
He comes down to the city like an old grey [F]
ghost.
[Bb] Don't trust anybody.
There's [Eb] people [Bb] all around.
Mountain high for months.
[F] He's finally come [Bb] on.
He's just an old coyote.
[Eb]
He's head and [Bb] tail low.
He's wandering through the city wondering where the [F] hell to go.
[Bb] The city people laughing at [Eb] him.
Pointing, telling [Bb] jokes.
Saying that ain't just some old man.
It's [F] the old [Bb] grey ghost.
It's the old grey ghost.
Has [Eb] come down the [Bb] crystal river.
The water's cold there but [F] this concrete makes him shiver.
[Bb] It's a lost look in the eyes of [Eb] the ones who've [Bb] taken hold.
[Eb]
The old grey [Bb] ghost.
Sure [F] they're gone and [Bb] lost.
Take another look at this weathered, forged old man.
You can almost see the leather reins cross through [F] his hand.
[Bb] Rifle on his shoulder.
[Eb] A bare tooth on [Bb] his chin.
And the long and empty gaze of [F] a man who's seen.
[Bb]
And the city folks just plunder on.
[Eb]
Smart phones in [Bb] their eye.
Sure they'll save the world like it's some new age [F] battle cry.
[Bb]
Riding bikes and electric cars.
Cover their inward.
Laughing and pointing [F] at one who rides [Bb] alone.
The old grey ghost.
Has [Eb] come down the crystal [Bb]
river.
The water's cold there [F] but this concrete makes him shiver.
It's [Bb] a lost look in the eyes [Eb] of the ones who've [Bb] taken hold.
[Eb] The old grey [Bb]
ghost.
Sure [F] they're gone and lost.
[Bb]
[Gm]
[Bb] [Eb]
Go home.
Take [Bb]
it.
Go [Eb]
home.
Where are [F] you going?
[Bb]
Don't just sit and stare at him.
[Eb]
Old judgment [Bb] clothes.
That ain't just some old man.
It's the old grey [F] ghost.
[Bb]
He lives on the mountain.
[Eb] Far away from all [Bb] progress.
And all we hear is the echoes [F] of the sins we all [Gm] confess.
[Bb] All we hear is the echoes of [F] the sins we all [Bb] confess.
[N]
