Verse:
Em D C D
I'm the latest apparition
Em D C D
Cutting slices in the night
Em D C D
I come through without permission
Em D C D
Moving in and out of sight
I'm the tapping on your shoulder
I'm the raven in the storm
I'll take shelter in your rafters
I'm the shiver when you're warm
Chorus:
G D
I'm the gold in California
C D
I'm the well in Mexico
G D
Like the vultures in the valley
C
I will wait for you to go
Em D C D (4x)
I'm the gypsy in your pocket
I'm the horseman in your dreams
I'm the reason dogs are barking
I'm the hand that stops the scream
I'm the baby's cry that isn't
I am the distant relative
I'm the scratching in the ceiling
I'm advice you shouldn't give
Chorus:
I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman
My foot will be there in your door
Though I can walk through walls and windows
I will knock just like before
I'm the darkness in your daughter
I'm the spot beneath the skin
I'm the scarlet on the pavement
I am the broken heart within
Chorus:
I won't take a train to nowhere
I will not touch just anyone
Ask a stranger why I'm waiting
In the chamber of a gun
Hint: At first, the strum pattern in the Verse/Intro seemed
somewhat awkward. Hitting all the "D" chords on the
UP stroke rather than the DOWN stroke seems right.
