Joe Bonamassa – The Ghost Of Macon Jones (Guitar)

F#m
Where the river keeps on rollin', time marches on

F#m
The sun hides in the shadows, you know where you belong

Bm                                           F#m
You walk in the silence readin' names on the stones

D                                         C#
You can roll with the tide, but you can't hide

         A              F#m
From the ghost of Macon Jones

F#m
Well they always came to church, sat up in the back

F#m
Drank the holy water, dapper dressed in black

Bm                                              F#m
Away from the rich folk where they let down his bones

         D              C#
Now they whisper at the sermons

                  A               F#m
They can hear the ghost of Macon Jones

F#m
From the time he was a child, it was easy to make friends

F#m
Some swore they found, right up to the end

         Bm                                                    F#m
When he jumped off that bridge they just watched and went back home

         D                               C#
They all cried to their mommas that they saw

    A               F#m
The ghost of Macon Jones

       Bm     A      F#m
In the nights, right along

         A    E             F#m
In your fight, just stay strong

        Bm           A     F#m
In the ill-fated wind, just go

         A              E                  F#m
Yeah you need to unlearn, what you've been told

F#m
No one knows what happened, 'cause the truth will often lie

F#m
Widows swear he loved 'em, he was born to make them cry

 Bm                                                       F#m
Sometimes a man believes he's destined to go at this life alone

       D                                 C#
If you head down that cold river you'll feel

     A              F#m
The ghost of Macon Jones

F#m
Some say he died, with a smile on his face

F#m
Others say he cried, he never found his place

       Bm                                               F#m
If you listen to your fears you might hear his restless moan

                   D
When they start digging up your dirt

         C#      A              F#m
You'll meet the ghost of Macon Jones

         D                          C#
If you see your reflection in the water

           A              F#m
That's the ghost of Macon Jones
