verse 1 

    Am   Em        Am Em 
The moon holds the light 
        Am                   Em                    
And the moon's this spinning globe 
         Am             Em 
Shedding light upon the road 
    Am Em      Am Em 
The bird won't fly 
     Am                    Em     Am             Em 
And a bird without its wings is a low and tragic thing 

Chorus 

       F 
We are ghosts 
       C 
We are ghosts amongst these hills 
         G 
From the trees of velvet green 
       D 
To the ground beneath our feet 
       F 
We are ghosts 
       C 
We are ghosts amongst these hills 
         G 
Pressing out along the shore 
         D 
Pressing out along the shore

verse 2 

Am Em 
The mountain song 
Matters not the thoughts of thirds 
Matters only to be heard 
And though I'm gone 
I will come again in Spring 
When the harvest can begin 

Chorus 

F C G D 
We are ghosts 
We are ghosts amongst these hills 
From the trees of velvet green 
To the ground beneath our feet 
We are ghosts 
We are ghosts amongst these hills 
Pressing out along the shore 
Pressing out along the shore
