[Verse 1]
Am F
Met a Ghost of a King on a road when I first felt
Dm C
fire burnin' to my knees to my knees I fell
Am F Dm C
Met a Ghost of a King on a road words of fire
Am F
He said, "You are a lonely soul
Dm C
With a heart of stone that rakes against your thirsty bones
Am F Dm C
Such a lonely soul"
[Pre-Chorus]
F
G
But we need to go"
[Chorus]
Am F G
Where no chariot can take you
Am F G
Where the river meets the sand
E F G
There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
Am F Dm C
And make you well, make you well
[Verse 2]
Am F
So I followed the Ghost of a King with every step
Dm C
I tried to see beyond for a trace of the riverside
Am F Dm C
But restlessness was my prize
Am F
And then we came upon a golden shore
Dm C
But the Voice of fire wasn’t coming from a ghost no more
Am F Dm C
My heart of stone came alive
[Pre-Chorus]
F
When my eyes were opened up
G
And I saw that I had come
[Chorus]
Am F G
Where no chariot can take you
Am F G
Where the river meets the sand
E F G
There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
Am F G
And make you well, make you well
[Bridge]
Dm F
So I knelt beside the river and I drank until,
Am G
I drank until, I drank until, I died
Dm F
But something in the water must have brought me back,
Am G F G
it brought me back, it brought me back to life
[Chorus]
Am F G
Where no chariot can take you
Am F G
Where the river meets the sand
E F G
There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
Am F G
And make you well, make you well
Am F G
Where no chariot can take you
Am F G
Where the river meets the sand
Am F G
There is water there that can quench your thirsty bones
Am F Dm C
And make you well, make you well
