E C#m G#m7
I scoured the wasteland, scorched and seedy
A B E
Looking for the writing on the wall
E C#m G#m7
But all I found was some foolâs graffiti
A B E
On the door of a shithouse stall
C#m B A E
I crawled the miles between living and survival
C#m B A
Where priests and princes seldom go
E C#m G#m7
Thatâs how I came to my late arrival
A B E
At the house of the ghost of Thoreau
(All other verses follow the same chord progression as the first)
Out where the everclear kneels to kiss the wildwood
And caress the breast of Mother Earth
I stood like a scarecrow in the land of my childhood
And called out the demons of my birth
I screamed the question, âWhy do we keep on guessing
At something we all already know?â
I wasnât sure who I was addressing when
Up walked the ghost of Thoreau
Yes the wisdom of your kingdom has escaped my grasp
So donât you come by unless you bring some
Answers to the questions I ask
Iâll bury them on a hillside greener than your money
Where your towers of greed can never grow
Youâll find me by the fire playing gin rummy
And drinking with the ghost of Thoreau
Instrumental (same chords as verses)
Iâve seen you flying high all across the jet stream
Escaping all youâve laid to waste
Safe and secluded in your blue-blooded wet dream
With all bitter memories erased
Miles and miles above the huddling masses
And pointing at their ghettos down below
And when you come down you can kiss two asses
Mine and the ghost of Thoreauâs
NOTE: This song also sounds cool (and the main lick is easier to play, too) if you
put a Kyser-style capo on the 4th fret âupside down,â leaving the low E string
open. Then play all chords two whole steps lower:
