Ghost Town Blues

Key: CMedium

Ever Csince my baby left me

You know this ghost town Eain't no Ffun no Cmore E F

She Cstole my heart away from me and then she

EDropped it Fon the Cfloor E F

My Coutsides are tough

Hellbent leather overcoat of what Eonce Fwas a Cman E F

But Cinside's a little broken hearted boy

Whose Efeelings Fhe cannot Cstand

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

With Enothing Fleft to Close

The Enoose Fswings Chigh up on the gallows in the wind

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

Mmm-hmmmm E Fyeah C E F C E F

I Cfeel like an undertaker

Dressed in black but Eno one Fleft for Cdead E F

She Cleft me in a heartbeat

And now there's no one left to Esleep Fin my Cbed E F

Where Claughs and cries and memories were once

Now lie and EtumbleFweeds and Cdust E F

And an Cempty graveyard feeling that began once

EJust as a Fchildhood Clust E F

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

With Enothing Fleft to Close

The Enoose Fswings Chigh up on the gallows in the wind

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

Mmm-hmmmm E Fyeah

instrumental

CEF

My Cpontiac spits back feelings of contempt Eout Fthe exChaust E F

A Chundred miles an hour down a highway

Well i'm Ebeat up Fand i'm Clost E F

She's Cgone and i know it, like an outlaw she Eran Ffor the Chills E F

And i'll Cstart a brand new life with a new girl

And those Esame old Fghost town Cthrills

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

With Enothing Fleft to Close

The Enoose Fswings Chigh up on the gallows in the wind

I've Egot those Fghost town Cblues

Ball And Chain

Key: DEasy

DAGD

WelDl AitG'sD been ten years and a thousand tears

And look at the mess I'm in-

A broken nose and a broken heart,

An empty bottle of gin

Well I sit and I pray

In my broken down Chevrolet-

While I'm singin' to myself

There's got to be another way

TakDe Aa GwaDy, take away,

Take away this ball and chain

I'm lonely and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

TakDe AawGay, takGe away

(music pauses)

Take away this ball and chain

DAGD

WelDl AI'GveD searched and I've searched

To find the perfect life-

A brand new car and a brand new suit

I even got me a little wife-

But wherever I have gone

I was sure to find myself there-

You can run all your life

But not go anywhere

TakDe Aa GwaDy, take away,

Take away this ball and chain

I'm sick and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

TakDe AawGay, takGe away

(music pauses)

Take away this ball and chain

DAGD

WelDl AI'GllD pass the bar on the way

To my dingy hotel room-

I spent all my money

Been drinkin' since half past noon-

I'll wake there in the mornin'

Or maybe in the county jail-

Times are hard getting harder

I'm born to lose and destined to fail-

TakDe Aa GwaDy, take away,

Take away this ball and chain

I'm lonely and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

TakDe AawGay, takGe away

(music pauses)

Take away this ball and chain

Company C

Key: ACapo 1Easy

Main riff:

On a Astreet corner in Pittsburgh, PA

There?s a Dtough Irish boy with no dreams

But to be King for one Aday

And he?s Dschooled by the older ones

With lessons and the conduct of the Astreets

He?s got a Emean right cross D

And a devastating Aleft hook

He likes to Adrink and he likes to fight

He likes Dpoppin? pills and Du-Op

and the boulevard on a Saturday Anight

And he?s Dgoing no where fast

you know he?s happy just staying Aalive

But you can Ealways count on DCharlie

To be there if you needed Ahim

In a Acourtroom on a December?s day

The Djudge said look here son

If you wanna play

You?re gonna have to Apay

See these Drules that you life by

Don?t exist in a civilized Aworld.

So I Eoffer you prison,D or Vietnam.A

You know ACharlie, he?s kinda crazy

He just Dstood there looked at me,

Looked at the judge, straight in the Aeyes

Said I?d Dlove to fight your honor

And you know I?ve got nothing to Alose

So Esend me off to war,D I don?t Amind.

He Aspent two years

Learning weapons of death

And a Dyear in the jungle

Like an animal where it's kill or be Akilled

And the Dright amount of heroin

Really seems the quiet the Abombs

Back in EPittsburghD, things are rather Acalm

Now ACharlie, he is my friend

Taught me Dhow to hold my head up

Told me soon that I?d be a Aman

Says that DAgent Orange is calling

And the doctors have done all they Acan

Well ECharlie, I?m gonna Dmiss you

after you?re Agone

Well ECharlie, I?m gonna Dmiss you

after you?re Agone

Well ECharlie, I?m gonna Dmiss you

after you?re Agone

Another State Of Mind

Well I'm Cin another Gstate, anCother state of Gmind,

I Cwish that I could be Gthere right Dnext to her

This Croad leads to Gthis, Cthis one leads to Gthat,

There's Ctears in her eyes.

If AI make it back I'm gonna Gshow her,

CHitch a ride on the Gwild side,

It's Creal hell on Gwheels.

There's Cgonna be a Gfight tonight, I Dknow.

ACnother city Gwe can't find,

ACnother city left Gburied behind.

As I Cpicture her, the Gcities burn Daway.

AThese scars in my flesh,

CI'm bruised and I'm bloodied

Only Ashe know the pain that I've Gbeen through.

ATalk to her a thousand miles away,

There's Ctears in her eyes.
