Intro: Dm C Am Dm

DmShe (xx0231@1)a memory a holy ghost 
Ca (x32010@1)glimpse of all he once loved most
Am (x02210@1)                                    DmShe (xx0231@1)wanders like a whisper through the hallways

When day gives into dark of night
C (x32010@1)
Dreams that die in sunlight
Am (x02210@1)                                    DmHe (xx0231@1)sees her shadow standing in the doorway

She comes to him both sure and slow
CHey (x32010@1)there honey why you all alone
Am (x02210@1)                                   DmComing (xx0231@1)home to keep your lonely heart warm

He reaches for her standing there
CHe (x32010@1)longs to touch her cold black hair'
Am (x02210@1)                                    Dmbut (xx0231@1)she vanishes into the dust she came from

You can't hitch your pony to a burning post
CYou (x32010@1)cant stop time not even close
Am (x02210@1)                               DmPut (xx0231@1)a handle on the holy ghost not ever

[Bridge]

She's a memory, a holy ghost 
CA (x32010@1)sense of all he once held close
Am (x02210@1)                         DmA (xx0231@1)blessin and a burden all together

Days falls into the night
CTo (x32010@1)dull the bitter edge of sight
Am (x02210@1)                                    DmHe (xx0231@1)tries his best sometimes just to forget her

He feels her presence everywhere
CSmells (x32010@1)her perfume in the air
Am (x02210@1)                                DmShe (xx0231@1)flickers like a candle in the window

He reaches for her to touch the flame
CBut (x32010@1)she's already so far away
Am (x02210@1)                                    DmShe's (xx0231@1)left him with a thousand pale momentos
