Cadd9
The ghost of a friend came down to me
Am
Singing don't go back to misery
Cadd9
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
Cadd9
So I packed up my sorrows
And I followed her down
Am
To the Westway Road heading out of town
Cadd9
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
Cadd9Am
They're the clowns that've taken the town
Cadd9Am
Yeah the fools here are running me down
Cadd9AmG
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
AmGAm
They got nothing on you, no
AmG
And the lady sings
Cadd9
Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
Am
For another dark place of misery
Cadd9
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
Cadd9Am
There is always a circus in town
Cadd9Am
With the vultures, and the peacocks and hounds
Cadd9AmG
Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you
AmGAm
They got nothing on you
GAm
And the lady sings
Cadd9Am
You see there's always a circus in town
Cadd9Am
All the vultures, peacocks and hounds
Cadd9AmG
Well I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
AmG
They got nothing on you, no
GAm
And the lady sings
Well, there she goes
