performing a cowboy song in front of my class
This is a song I wrote called "King of A Ghost Town".
Chords / Lyrics
King Of A Ghost Town
C (Bb F) x 3 G G
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your dormant eyes, glimmering like a silver mine, running out of time goes by in the salty dunes.
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your vacant heart, rattles like a railway car, over track that don’t go far into the horizon line.
Bb F Dm G C Am Dm
And they say that you’re the king of a ghost town. You’re the one that they sing about in songs.
G(once) F C C (Bb F) x 3 G G
Yes, they do because you’re so lonely.
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your brittle spine, falling like the timberline, shattered like the sands of time, flowing through my hands.
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your aging mind,don’t keep up with the youthful kind.Taking up what was left behind in the morning dew
Am G
And they say,
Bb F Dm G C Am Dm
And they say that you’re the king of a ghost town. You’re the one that they sing about in songs.
G(once) F C
Yes, they do because you’re so lonely.
F C C (Bb F) x 3 G G C (Bb F) x 3 G G
because you’re so lonely.
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your dormant eyes, glimmering like a silver mine, running out of time goes by in the salty dunes.
C (Bb F) C (Bb F) C (Bb F) G G
Your vacant heart, rattles like a railway car, over track that don’t go far into the horizon line.
Bb F Dm G C Am Dm
And they say that you’re the king of a ghost town. You’re the one that they sing about in songs.
G(once) F C
Yes, they do because you’re so lonely.
Dm G C Am Dm
you’re the king of a ghost town. You’re the one that they sing about in songs.
G(once) F C
Yes, they do because you’re so lonely.
F C
because you’re so lonely.
F C
because you’re so lonely.
F C(once)
because you’re so lonely.
