[Intro]
C#m G#m
[Verse 1]
C#m G#m
We could hear them playin’ we could hear them keepin’ time
C#m G#m
We could hear their high and lonesome sound
C#m G#m
Down this muddy river their melody and rhyme
C#m G#m
A tune that cannot otherwise be found
[Chorus]
A
When the paddlewheel starts spinnin’
E
Around the midnight hour
A E
If you board the Mississippi river queen
A
Sometimes you hear the music from
E
those who've gone before
A E C#m
the band of ghosts from nineteen seventeen

When the fiddle player pulls his bow across his worn out strings
C#m G#m
You're sure to feel a chill move down your spine
C#m G#m
He takes it up a third when in harmony he sings
C#m G#m
A chorus to the former days gone by
A
When the paddlewheel starts spinnin’
E
Around the midnight hour
A E
And you board the Mississippi river queen
A
The voices of a thousand souls and
E
those who've gone before

a song of ghosts from nineteen seventeen

The loss sometimes seems far too great to bear
C#m G#m
But thru the fog the healing starts, the music intervenes
C#m G#m
The rhythm and the shuffle meets you there
A
When the paddlewheel starts spinnin’
E
Around the midnight hour
A E
And you board the Mississippi river queen
A
Sometimes you hear the music from

those who've gone before
