Introduction:
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
