C5
The ghost of a friend came down to me
        A5
Singing don't go back to misery
C5
She spread out her wings and said listen to me
A5
This ain't no place for you to be
G5
Oh my darling you can set me free

C5
So I packed up my sorrows

And I followed her down
A5
To the Westway Road heading out of town
C5
The grass is greener off the beaten track
A5
So come with me and we won't go back
G5
Oh my darling I could only try

C5                                    A5
They're the clowns that've taken the town
C5                                   A5
Yeah the fools here are running me down
C5                        A5                     G5
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
                     A5         G5   A5
They got nothing on you, no
A5                    G5
And the lady sings

C5
Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
A5
For another dark place of misery
C5
But the fires burning and the winds they change
A5
I know I've seen my friend again
G5
Oh my darling you have made me see

C5                           A5
There is always a circus in town
C5                             A5
With the vultures, and the peacocks and hounds
C5                        A5                      G5
Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you
A5                   G5         A5
They got nothing on you
G5              A5
And the lady sings

C5                              A5
You see there's always a circus in town
C5                                A5
All the vultures, peacocks and hounds
C5                  A5                      G5
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
A5                           G5
They got nothing on you, no
G5                  A5
And the lady sings

Well, there she goes
