Intro: D5 C5 A5 D5

D5
She a memory a holy ghost 
C5
a glimpse of all he once loved most
A5                                      D5
She wanders like a whisper through the hallways

When day gives into dark of night
C5  
Dreams that die in sunlight
A5                                      D5
He sees her shadow standing in the doorway

She comes to him both sure and slow
C5
Hey there honey why you all alone
A5                                     D5
Coming home to keep your lonely heart warm

He reaches for her standing there
C5
He longs to touch her cold black hair?
A5                                      D5
but she vanishes into the dust she came from

You can?t hitch your pony to a burning post
C5
You cant stop time not even close
A5                                 D5
Put a handle on the holy ghost not ever

[Bridge]

She?s a memory, a holy ghost 
C5
A sense of all he once held close
A5                           D5
A blessin and a burden all together

Days falls into the night
C5
To dull the bitter edge of sight
A5                                      D5
He tries his best sometimes just to forget her

He feels her presence everywhere
C5
Smells her perfume in the air
A5                                  D5
She flickers like a candle in the window

He reaches for her to touch the flame
C5
But she?s already so far away
A5                                      D5
She?s left him with a thousand pale momentos
