The Ghost Of Richard Manuel by Mike + Ruthy
The Ghost Of Richard Manuel
Capo: 7th fret
[Intro]
D G Bm A G
[Verse 1]
D
In a thousand empty bottles
G
In a hundred burned out cars
Bm A
In a house up in the Catskills
G D
In all the honky-tonks and bars
D
All the way across the airwaves
G
And all the way around this land
Bm A
The ghost of Richard Manuel
G D G Bm A G
Is walking like a natural man
[Verse 2]
D
Last night around the campfire
G
We got high on homemade wine
Bm A
We passed around the guitar
G D
Tried to sing “Whispering Pines”
D
And in every sweet falsetto
G
That was more than I could stand
Bm A
Was the ghost of Richard Manuel
G D G Bm A G
Walking like a natural man
[Verse 3]
D
Along the keys of my piano
G
In the kick and in the snare
Bm A
In getting your kicks out of parlor tricks
G D
In a hound dog’s hungry stare
D
He’s getting frozen up in Canada
G
And burned in the south land
Bm A
The ghost of Richard Manuel
G D G Bm A G
Still walking like a natural man
[Instrumental Solo]
D G Bm A G
[Verse 4]
D
There’s a room full of nicotine poets
G
And three harmony guitars
Bm A
A shopworn tack piano
G D
And 32 bars
D
And a Victrola in the corner
G
Spinning “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”
Bm A
And the ghost of Richard Manuel
G D
Walking like a natural man
[Outro]
G Bm A
Hey Richard, Hey Richard
G A G
Richard, won’t you sing us “Tears of Rage” just one more time
D G Bm A G D
