Family Ghost by Jeff Tweedy


       Family Ghost



Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo

[Intro]
G  G  Bb  Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
I'm a dope
G                    C
Blowing smoke at the TV screen
G
Lost all hope
D            C
Based on the things I’ve seen
G
I'm a man content
G               C
For the sake of argument
G
Underneath each added straw
D             C
Oh, I feel so American
 
G
 
 
[Chorus]
Am             G
Spray paint me gold
        Am              G
Pull my face up to the blinds
Am            G
I'm a family ghost you'll
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
I want to exist where the misfit fits
G                   C
I want to have some purpose
G
I believe what she believes
D            C
I believe my children
G
When the lights go off there's no applause
G                     C
Condescending to the hideous thought
G
Imprisoned in my lonely skin
D         C
I feel so American
 
G
 
 
[Chorus]
Am             G
Spray paint me gold
        Am              G
Pull my face up to the blinds
Am            G
I'm a family ghost you'll
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
Time will tell this story again
G                      C
Different clothes than they wore back then
G
Digging holes and filling them in
D         C
I feel so American
 
G
 
 
[Chorus]
Am             G
Spray paint me gold
        Am              G
Pull my face up to the blinds
Am            G
I'm a family ghost you'll
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
Bb   Am            G
You'll never leave behind
