Ricky Montgomery – Black Fins (Guitar)

C      F
[tab]G                F
waiting for the tide to roll

C    F
Back in,

G               F
soaking in the sun and I know

C          F
It's just another

G                F
little piece of ocean trash and

C     F
Not you,

G               F             C     F
just a little ghost I keep around

G               F              C F G F
A funny shadow always hanging out

C                         F
If your ashes sprang to life,

                        G
would you just let me down?

C                            F
Would you leave those kids again

                    G
and kick 'em outta town

C                    F
I guess we'll never know,

  G                   F
I'll just be here wondering

      C                 F
What made you choose to go?

     G                  F          C F G F
The day that you went down to Mexico

       C F G F
To Mexico

C      F
Black fins,

G              F
full of life again and suddenly

C            F
It's all pretend,

G            F
every manic word you wrote us

C                    F
Now there's time to mend,

G              F
every broken heart that you left

C                 F
In your gust of wind,

G              F                C
No more little ghost I keep around

                 F
(No more little ghost I keep around)

G              F              C
No more funny shadow in my house

                F
(No more funny shadow in my house)

C                         F
If your ashes sprang to life,

                        G
would you just let me down?

C                            F
Would you leave those kids again

                    G
and kick 'em outta town

C                    F
I guess we'll never know,

  G                   F
I'll just be here wondering

     C               F
What made you wanna go?

     G                 F
The day that you went down to Mexico

C       F
Black fins,

G           F                 C
one more metaphor for scuba gear

       F
Black fins,

G               F                       C
wish I would've known you through the years

       F
Black fins,

G               F           C
wish I never went to Illinois

       F
Black fins,

G             F                C
filling up on milk and chips ahoy

       F         G
Black fins, black fins

       F         C
Black fins, black fins

       F         G
Black fins, black fins

       F
Black fins

C
(No more little ghost I keep around)

C
(No more funny shadow in my house)

C
(No more little ghost I keep around)

C
No more funny shadow in my house

C
(No more funny shadow in my house)

                               C
No more little ghost I keep around
