As recorded by David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour (From the 2020 Audiobook A THEATRE FOR DREAMERS) [Intro] Ab [Verse 1]
Ab                                        Ebm
The heat of the sun stayed on through the night

     Gb                    Fm                 Ab
Made spectres of strangers playing games with  my sight

                                Ebm
I passed through the station, a face in the crowd

    Gb                       Fm
The whistle was blowing, the barrier came down

Ab                     Bbm        Ebm
There was my baby, in another's embrace

  Gb                           Db
I called out her name in shame and disgrace
[Refrain]
     Gb     Ab          Gb
Yes, I have ghosts, not all of them dead

               Bbm Ab               Gb        Fm
Making dust of my  dreams, spinning round and around

             Ebm
Around in my head
[Verse 2]
Ab           Ebm
Train on the tracks, teeth of the zip

    Gb                         Fm
The slider moves down, we were joined at the hip

Ab                       Ebm
Stealing the groove, the widening gap

Gb                       Db
Unfastening rails from a past with no map
[Refrain]
     Gb     Ab        Gb
Yes, I have ghosts, a fleeting sight

     Bbm        Ab                 Gb       Fm
It's always the living that are haunting my nights
[Interlude] Ebm Bbm Ab Gb Bbm Ab Gb Fm Ebm [Verse 4]
Ab                               Ebm
Where is the sweet soul that you used to be

Gb                         Fm
Gone like a thistle that's blown on the breeze

  Ab                         Ebm
I guess when it's over, this haunting will end

    Gb                       Db
The waiting, the baiting, my killer, my friend
[Refrain]
     Gb     Ab          Gb
Yes, I have ghosts, not all of them dead

         Bbm          Ab               Gb           Fm
And they dance by the moon, millstones white as the sheet

      Ebm
On my bed
[Outro] Ebm Bbm Ab Gb Bbm Ab Gb Fm Ebm Ab Ebm Gb Db Bbm Ab Gb Bbm Ab Gb Fm Ebm Ab Ebm Gb Db Ab Ebm Gb Db
