C9
The ghost of a friend came down to me
        Am
Singing don't go back to misery
C9
She spread out her wings and said listen to me
Am
This ain't no place for you to be
G
Oh my darling you can set me free

C9
So I packed up my sorrows

And I followed her down
Am
To the Westway Road heading out of town
C9
The grass is greener off the beaten track
Am
So come with me and we won't go back
G
Oh my darling I could only try

C9                                    Am
They're the clowns that've taken the town
C9                                   Am
Yeah the fools here are running me down
C9                        Am                     G
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
                     Am         G   Am
They got nothing on you, no
Am                    G
And the lady sings

C9
Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
Am
For another dark place of misery
C9
But the fires burning and the winds they change
Am
I know I've seen my friend again
G
Oh my darling you have made me see

C9                           Am
There is always a circus in town
C9                             Am
With the vultures, and the peacocks and hounds
C9                        Am                      G
Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you
Am                   G         Am
They got nothing on you
G              Am
And the lady sings

C9                              Am
You see there's always a circus in town
C9                                Am
All the vultures, peacocks and hounds
C9                  Am                      G
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
Am                           G
They got nothing on you, no
G                  Am
And the lady sings

Well, there she goes
