Gun Club: "Ghost On The Highway" (from the "Fire Of Love" album)


intro:	8 times F#
	(4x guitar only, 4x the entire band)
F#                     A F#                   E  A  E
It's cloudy in the west...it looks like rain
F#                     A F#                   E  A  E
my eyes are black holes...and i'm burning away
     C#                        B  E
you slaughtered your loving man, killed him in his sleep
      C#                           B E
the blood and crying of your murder simply stains your sheets



                       F#                  A  E
        Now, you're a ghost on the highway
              F#                    A  E
        your gesture is meaningless
                F#                    A  E
        you're lost to the living men
                  F#               A  E
        trailing souls to the end



You thought winning as a woman, meant failing as a friend
it is nor an art statement, to drown a few passionate men
you made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes
you claim because they want your shine they deserve to walk the line


        You're a ghost on the highway
        your gesture is meaningless
        you're lost forever to the living men
        trailing souls to the end


instrumental:	2x E  F#


    C#                            B      E
Oh yes, I would give you my love, so my soul would not starve
         C#                             B    E
but, it could never move the honest rock of what you really are


        You're a ghost on the highway
        you're like straw and meaningless
        I hate you, but I love you
        I'll carry that to the end


If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep
if I ever closed my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me
you are simply a liar, an animal who bluffs and steals
until you become a bigger creature's meal


        You're a ghost on the highway
        your trash and meaningless
        I hate you, but I love you
        I'll carry that to the end


        Like a ghost on the highway
        like a ghost on the highway
        ah, you lost on the highway
        you lost on the highway


end:	F#
