[Verse]
F#m E B F#m E B
Phantom headlights, broken white line
F#m E B
Bloodstains on the highway, glowing power lines
F#m E B
Signal thirty whispers softly through the pine
E F#m
He said that no one could take her away
E F#m
None that could tear them apart
E F#m
The song she was singing made a mans blood run cold
D B N.C.
Like a moth in flames, torn from his heart
[Chorus]
F#m Bsus2
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2
Ghost on the road, ah
[Verse]
F#m E B F#m E B
Flashing road signs misty red eyes
F#m E B
Lost on the highway, not a soul in sight
F#m E B
Endless black ribbon racing through the night
E F#m
She said that nothing in the world would survive
E F#m
Lonely spirit float on the wind
E F#
No candles burned to light his way in this life
D B N.C.
No one saw the veil of sorrow closing to an end
[Chorus]
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road, ah
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road, ah [end with a 2/4 measure]
(4 measures F# bass & drums only)
[Verse]
(*See The Quiet Bit below)
F#m F#m
Four barrels roll, down a country road
F#m F#m
Driver never sleeps, engine never slows
E F#m
They say he'll stop one day and look back to see
E F#m
A girl who waits by the bend
E F#m
Her silvery laugh will remind him of one past
D B
By his side until the night must call her home again
[Chorus]
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road ah
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road ah
F#m Bsus2 Bsus2/E
Ghost on the road ah
F#m Bsus2 E
Ghost on the road ah
