Grey Ghost Tab

by Mike Doughty


 
Chorus

Oh in the grey
      
Grey ghost that I call home
        
In the grey
       
Stony lonesome I call home
        
In the grey
       
Grey ghost that I call home
                                  
In the grey, grey ghost that I call home

            
Oh he will not
Walk out the river now
He will not walk out the river
He will not walk out the river, singing

Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them

On the docks in Memphis, with the boombox, nodding out, singing
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
                     
Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Repeat Chorus

         
In the trail of the barge and the light upon the brine
He has staked these thoughts and the force is undivided, singing

Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them

Sleepy-eyed, the man is wading out into the night, singing
Don’t fall through the stars
Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Don’t fall through them

Don’t fall through the stars

Bridge
                        
Embracing some hard-luck citizen
                             
Disgraced like some strange Bob Balaban
                                
And placing your heels down in the sand

And                    
Chorus x2 w/ backup vox
Last line 
                                        
in the grey grey ghost that I call home
