Strum
D-DU-UDU
   Jimmy died on his  couch yesterday
 A  friend of his ex-wife called me to say
 He just  gave it to God,  slipped from the living
 With the  bills piling up and a back that was giving in
 It’s been  years since I’ve  seen anyone
   Now I’m sitting  here, in the  dark
   Stalling out in my  car
   Wishing I could bum a  light
 From the  ghost of the gang  tonight
   Kathy lost a nephew under the  wheels of a train
 In a  midday suicide after a losing streak
 He just  stood on the tracks and  gave it to glory
   I never called her, to say I’m sorry, my  friend
 It’s been G years, but I’m Am thinking about you
  C And all of your tears and I’m Em sitting here in the G dark
   Afraid to make a stupid  call
   Wishing I could bum a  light
 From the C ghost of the gang D tonight
  C Tonight I’m gonna take that ride for
 The G years we missed and the D friends that died
  C Sideswiped baby on the road somehow with
 A G pack of dreams that just D weren’t allowed
 Maybe you’re C walking those halls all quiet and sad
 Or G sitting in the dark all D scared and mad
 Feel my C hand reach across and don’t forget
 Where you G come from baby, ‘cause there’s D truth in C it
 Yeah we G huddled against the Am cold in those days
 By the C light of a fire in a pep-rally haze
 With the G smoke and lives past, and a Am reason for living
 No C matter how bad it got, we wouldn’t give in to Em it
 It’s been G years, since I’ve Am seen anyone
  C Or cried these tears now I'm Em sitting here in the G dark,
  Am stalling out in my D car
   Wishing I could bum  ride
 From the  ghost of the  gang  tonight
   The ghost of the gang  tonight
