Damien Dempsey Ghosts of Overdoses Lyrics

Tune high and low E strings down to D
The intro has two guitars, one playing chords, and another
following this guitar on the high E string (Tuned to D)
Gtr 2 intro
Played Over Intro Of:
Gtr 1 INTRO CHORDS
Let Ring
Both can be played together by adding your little finger to the high E
string.
Verse Chords
D Em F# G A E(II) F#(II)
Slide up to these chords
Famine days, drove us here, off the land,
They tried to clear, Now they drive you
A D (E(II) F#(II) First Time)
From The cities, to make way for all the yuppies
They stood back, and didn't act,
Those in power, should have been sacked,
Decimate the inner cities, move them out, bring in the wealthy.
Chorus Chords
Hey little baby, I wanna take you from here
I wanna take you away from here
Hey little baby, dont wanna see you on the gear
Cos it's so hard to find your find your back
Hey little baby, it's every parents worst fear,
For their child to end up on smack.
Verse II as verse I
Chorus II as chorus I
Instrumental
(3:00)
Similar to intro with second guitar
B A G F# Em Em/D X3
You lie, I cry, Please don't go
(4:02)
Now I walk, along these streets,
All the ghosts, they walk their beats
Up to flats and into stairwells,
Where they lie, in heroin hell
Little kids, they walk right through them,
I just hope they don't become them.
