Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Cities,  buildings falling down
Satellites  come crashing down
 I see them falling  out the skies like eagles
All  mirrored glass and shattered egos
 But in a corner  of the world we'd meet to laugh  and drink
 and plan our sequels
 'Cause in the alleyways  and bars downtown
 They're singing up  from here to there can  we go
 This city  comes alive at night, see these city  walls are
 heaving
 And if these old  city walls should crash, amid the rubble
 you'd find us breathing
Come  say what you see in me
'Cause  boy, I  believe in you
Come  say what you're seeing
All  gone just  ghost dancing,  going  all  the way through
You  talk about the Lebanon
You  tell me 'bout the Dawn in Eden
You  talk about South Africa
I  tell you about the Irish children
 You say one  more Polish Knight could come and blow  away the
 doors to Freedom
 And if Mother  Ethiopia could blow  away the tears that we
 see run
Oh  blow them away,
Blow,  blow away
We  Will blow them away
Oh  blow, blow away
Blow,  blow away
Blow,  blow away
Come  say what you see  in me
'Cause  boy, I  believe in you
Come  say what you're seeing
All  gone just  ghost dancing,  going  all  the way through
going  all  the way through  (X2)
 You know I believe  in you
 Oh yes I believe,  you know I believe  in you
 You say you believe
 I believe,  I believe,  going all the way through,  yeah
going  all the way  through,  yeah
going  all the way  through,  yeah
Come  take me  back home,
come  on and take me  away
 Ghost Dancing
 Repeat Interlude.
The  car pulled up, the  girl she jumped in
The  boy he wore a medal  that was shining  from his skin
With  the windows pulled up, their  radio tuned in
She's  hitting from the stars,  he's hitting  for the moon
She  said, one last kiss while you look across  the Land
Move  it into overdrive  and take  me by my hand
When  the car broke, the  rebels saw smoke
and  they all went to heaven  in a stupid  fantasy, go
 Take me away
