Intro: C, F, Am, G, F, C
C F
In a thousand empty bottles… in a hundred burned out cars
Am G F C
In a house up in the Catskills… in all the honky-tonks and bars
C F
All the way across the airwaves, and all the way around this land
Am G F C F Am G F
The ghost of Richard Manuel is… walking like a natural man
C F
Well last night around the campfire… we got high on homemade wine
Am G F C
We passed around the guitar… and tried to sing “Whispering Pines”
C F
And in every sweet falsetto… that was more than I could stand
Am G F C F Am G F
Was the ghost of Richard Manuel just… walking like a natural man
C F
Along the keys of my piano… in the kick and in the snare
Am G F C
In getting your kicks off of parlor tricks… and in a hound dog’s hungry stare
C F
Well He’s getting frozen up in Canada, and burned in the south land
Am G F C F Am G F
But the ghost of Richard Manuel still… walking like a natural man
Short Break: C F Am G F
C F
There’s a room full of nicotine poets... three harmony guitars
Am G F C
And a shopworn tack piano… with 32 bars
C F
And the Victrola’s in the corner… spinning “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”
Am G F C
And the ghost of Richard Manuel is… walking like a natural man
F Am G
Hey, Hey Richard… Hey, Hey Richard
F G F C
Richard won’t you sing us… “Tears of Rage” just one more time
C F Am G F
C F Am G F C…
