The
G 
ghost writer sits at home,
D 
G 
he's been paid for his trouble
Em 
G 
And he's laughing at the light
B 
that shines on fame
C 
G 
Nothing can be shared,
B 
Em 
he's no one's equal or double
Am 
G 
D 
Money talks but no one ever
Bm 
says his name
Em 
G 
She signs every book
D 
with a flourish of her pen
G 
Em 
G 
Some reading from a well
B 
he knew she stole
C 
G 
Now she's on kaleidoscope
B 
and someone says she's Milton
Em 
Am 
G 
She didn't even read the book
D 
or so he's told
Bm 
B 
G 
So  he's told, he's riding on a ghost train,
to a ghost town.

about the wicked winning
G

out without remorse
C 
G 
They find him half -alive in his
B 
half -house
Em 
That's half a hovel
Am 
G 
D 
His final words are, tell her
We are now divorced
Bm 
Of course
Em 
G 
He said, hey you sad sack hacks
D 
G 
And all you backroom boys, beware
Em 
G 
They'll bar you up like diamonds,
B 
like fur
C 
Then they'll spit you out
G 
like coffee grounds
Em 
That fell right through the filter
Am 
G 
They'll say the book could never
D 
Bm 
Have been written without
B 
G 
She's riding on a ghost train,
to a ghost town
Am 
G 
It's of  our lives we've made less

you cannot turn around

Wake up and sell the coffee,
D

milk the profits, kill the cow
C

It's coming on 2000 lads,

to a ghost town
