Chords

(Originaly recorded in G#m) [Intro] Dm F C F [Verse 1]
Dm             F
Every time you think about it

C                 F
It tears you up inside

Dm                     F
You curse the day your mother

          C           F
told you, your father died

Dm                F
Now you're always searching

C                 F               Dm
Searching for the reason why I've gone

                  F
But I will always be here

        C     F
By your side, through the darkest night
[Chorus]
Dm F      Am    Am            Dm
Here I’ll stand on the firing line

F         Am               Am            Dm
Here I’ll walk through the field where I died

F       Am        Am                 Dm
I  will fight and let the voice ring true

F        Am     Am               Dm
I am the ghost, standing next to you
[Verse 2]
Dm              F
Every night you go to sleep

C                    F
You pray the Lord my soul to keep

Dm             F             C     F
You don't know I've not gone away

Dm                   F
You see I watch over fighting men

C                F
So they can have peace again

Dm                F               C     F
And maybe someday you will all be free
[Chorus]
Dm F      Am    Am            Dm
Here I’ll stand on the firing line

F         Am               Am            Dm
Here I’ll walk through the field where I died

F       Am        Am                 Dm
I  will fight and let the voice ring true

F        Am     Am               Dm
I am the ghost, standing next to you
[Verse 3]
Dm                    F
You speak to me and I feel your pride

C                F
Assuring me I'll never die

Dm                 F              C     F
I write Mother... "He's here with me..."

Dm                     F
He's in our minds He's in our souls

C                F
Of sacrifice his story's told

Dm                    F               C      F
He holds the flame of freedom for all to see
[Chorus]
Dm F    Am    Am            Dm
Here we stand on the firing line

F         Am          Am            Dm
Here I'll walk in the field where I fight

F      Am       Am           Dm
I will fight or die for liberty

F        Am    Am               Dm
With the ghost standing next to me
[Outro]
Dm    F        Am     Am
Don't tread on me...

Dm   F      Am      Am
Live free or die!
