I find this fingering easier to use, though it's the

same thing essentially.

Listen to a tape for the timing, its pretty simple but hard to describe here. Also, Trey doesn't always play the Am6, leaving it to Page.

Am7 Am6

I feel I've never told

Am7 Am6

you the story of the

Am7 Am6  

ghost who I once knew and

Am7 Am6

talked to of whom I'd never boast

D9

But this was my big secret

D9

How I get ahead

D9

And never have to worry

D9 E7+9

I'd call him instead

Am7 Am6  

His answer came in action

Am7 Am6

He never spoke a word

Am7 Am6

Or maybe I lay down the

Am7 Am6

phone before he could be heard

D9

I somehow feel forsaken

D9

Like he had closed the door

D9

I guess I just stopped needing him

D9 Am7

I much as once before

Jam over 1 verse of chords; Am7 to Am6, then D9 part

Am7 Am6

But maybe he's still

Am7 Am6

with me the latch was left unhooked

Am7 Am6

He's waiting in the wind and rain

Am7 D9

I simply haven't looked

Am7 Am6

I feel I never told you

Am7 Am6 A7#9 (4x)

the story of the ghost

Jam on Am7 Am6
