Ghost by Clutch
Tuning: Standard (capo 3rd fret)

Am
The leather souls come… shufflin’ in… stinkin’ of smoke, and ten cent gin    
     G                                                                Am
Now who will toast our noble host, who has this mornin’ given up the ghost
Am                                                       
The wooden coffer… hand to hand… kind words are offered… silent prayers     

     G                                                      Am
But she is satisfied the most, while stabbing madly at the roast

Chorus:
Am              G                                          Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Am              G                                          Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve

Am                           
The creditor rides… with his men… the death of debtors… he won’t forgive    

         G                                                    Am
They repossess his silver eyes, now in the potter’s field he lies

Chorus:
Am              G                                                     Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Am              G                                                     Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve

Bridge:
Am                         G                                 Am
Waiting for a dead man’s shoes… have you heard the latest news
Am                         G                          Am
Lazarus is back from the dead… lookin’ as one would expect
Am                           G                             Am
Dippin’ with the waters of Sheol… babblin’ ‘bout body and soul
Am                                   G                          Am
And then he found his wife in their bed… buck naked and already wed

Am    
The tax collector… beneath his sheets… the door swings open… floor boards creak  

     G                                                                Am
Now who will toast our noble host, who has this mornin’ given up the ghost

Chorus:
Am              G                                                     Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Am              G                                                     Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Am              G                                                     Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
Am              G                                          Am
The rib of Adam… the eyes of Eve… the sons of Cain will receive, will receive
             G-G-G C-Am…
will recieve…


The Am filigree is played by keeping your middle and ring fingers in the 2nd fret 
Am position. You never have to lift your middle and ring finger. Merely shift your 
fore finger and pinky back and forth to hit the other notes.

Am A5 Dsus2 Am A5 Am. There are a couple of hammer-ons in there, but you'll get it 
if you listen to it.
