(Harp fill -3 -3 -3)

5  5    5   5  5  5   5   5
E-ver since my ba-by left me 

 5   5    5     5    5
You know this ghost town 

  6   6  -6  6  -7 -8 -7
Ain't no fun no   more 

(Harp fill -3 -3 -3)

 5    5   5   5    5  5   5   5
She stole my heart a-way from me 

 5   5    5     6    6  -6  6  -7 -8 -7
And then she dropped it on the  floor 

(Harp fill -3 -3 -3)

5   5   5       5     5    5    5   5   5  5   5
My out-side's tough, hell-bent lea-ther o-ver-coat 

5   6    6   -6  6 -7 -8 -7
Of what was once a   man 

(Harp fill -3 -3 -3)

 5  5    5    5  5   5   5   5   5    5   5
But in-side's a lit-tle bro-ken heart-ed boy 

  5     6   6   -6  6   6  -7 -8 -7
Whose feel-ings he can-not  stand.


Chorus:
 6   -6    6    -6    6    -7
I've got those ghost town blues

(Harp fill -2”)

 6   -6   6    -6  6   -7
With no-thing left to lose

(Harp fill -5’ -3)

-7   -6     6     -7  
The noose swings high 

5  5   5   5   5   6   5  -7 5
Up on the gal-lows in the wind

 5    6    5    -7    5     5
I've got those ghost town blues

-6 -7
Blues

(Harp break)
-2’ -2” -3
5 -5 5 -4 5 (-5 gliss -3) -3
Gliss to -5, then gliss from -5 to -7
then gliss to -3 and repeat -3           

Verse:
I feel like an undertaker 
Dressed in black but no one left for dead
She left me in a heartbeat, and now
There's no one left to sleep in my bed 
Where laughs and cries and memories were once
Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust
And an empty graveyard
Feeling that began once just as a
Childhood lust

Chorus:
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues
Blues

(Harp solo)

Verse:
My pontiac spit back feelings of
Contempt out the exhaust
A hundred miles an hour down a
Highway. Well I'm beat up and I'm
Lost she's gone and I know it,
Like an outlaw she ran for the
Hills and I'll start a brand new
Life with a new girl and these
Same old ghost town thrills.


Chorus:
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
