Your Mothers Ghost (CHORDS) by J. Tillman

[Intro]~
Am


[Verse]~
Am          G           Am
Oh my son,, heed these words

   C                       Em        Am
My father never shared them with his own

Am                G          Am
Take this bread,, drink this wine

        C                              Em       Am
Let the blood run down your throat and up your spine


[Chorus]~
         C      Em     Am
There's a ghost,, on my lips

            C           Em          Am
She gives me wisdom,, to guide your steps


[Verse]~
Am             G     Am
If I had been a godly man

             C                         Em       Am
I could have spared your mother from my drunken hands

Am                  G        Am
And as we dig,, her casket's bed

    C                       Em         Am
I'll think upon my sins for which she bled


[Chorus]~
         C      Em     Am
There's a ghost,, on my lips

            C           Em          Am
She gives me wisdom,, to guide your steps


[Outro]~
C            Em       Am
Ohhhhhh,, ohhhhhhhh

C            Em       Am
Ohhhhhh,, mmmmmmmm

Am         G           Am
Oh my son,, heed these words

   C                        Em       Am
My father never shared them with his own
