Ghosts Embodied

• Am

Another beautiful Nahko creation

Am, C, G

         Am           C          G           Am   
Well I'd like to be enjoying the height of a giant
       Am        C            G
Or the will of a great chiefs son
        Am               C               G                     Am
But I'm somewhere in the middle, with my feet slippin' off the pedals
      Am         G               Am
I'm a two legged bended, wounded knee
 
       Am                C                 G             Am
And my silence turned to thoughts, am I in constant disbelief
   Am          C           G
I exist personified as the truth
     Am               C                   G           Am
Do I live life like a thief, or am I just reading energy
             Am                G                     Am
That which I teach, through my teeth, becomes what I preach
 
     Am                 C                G            Am
Oh I sure would like to live without the burden of commitment
      Am            C                G
Not attached to any person, place or thing
         Am            C            G        Am
But it's such a heavy load to carry nowhere alone
     Am         G   Am
I am hopeful but tiring
 
Chorus:
        Am             G         Am
Because some of us are ghost embodied
       Am                      C     G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am                   G             Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
       Am           G    C     G
It was never really ever the-ere
       Am           G    Am
It was never really ever there
 
Instrumental
 
       Am                 C             G              Am
Well I sure would like to thrust all my shadows to the dust
       Am         C          G
Or purify and may justice be served
        Am            C          G             Am
Such an old man for a young man, understanding what he can
     Am           G     Am
Of a blessing and of a curse
 
 
      Am             C            G         Am
I'm a ghost taking a form, a very temporary form
       Am         C             G
May it be uncommonly found in a grove
             Am         C              G              Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
      Am           G         Am
And I know I don't seek this alone
      Am           G         Am
Yes I know I don't seek this alone
 
Chorus:
        Am             G         Am
Because some of us are ghosts embodied
       Am                      C     G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am                   G             Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
       Am           G    C     G
It was never really ever the-ere
       Am           G    Am
It was never really ever there 

Instrumental
 
         Am           C         G             Am
Well I'd like to set afoot, and have myself a look
           Am          C         G
'Round the bend of the great red road
        Am         C             G             Am
I would offer up a pipe, for the chorus for my life
         Am           G         Am
With the guidance and wisdom to know
 
Tha-A-at
 
Am             G         Am
Some of us are ghost embodied
       Am                      C     G
Like a face or a figure in the fle-esh
Am                   G             Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment
       Am           G    C     G
It was never really ever the-ere
       Am           G    Am
It was never really ever there
 
             Am         C              G          Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
      Am           G         Am
And I know I don't seek this alone (x2)
