              Ab           Db     Eb 
Ghost in the moonlight 
Db         Ab         Db 
Throw your veil upon these grounds 
Ab    Db            Eb 
Cold! The night is star-bright 
Ab         Eb              Db 
Pale is all beauty of your gown 
 
Ab    Db      Eb 
Dark, frame a fire 
Db      Eb   Db    Eb    Db 
Mystery of a blood red rose 
Ab  Db           Eb 
Dark, shine sapphire 
Db        Eb             Db 
You won't leave me on my own 
 
( Ab ) 
 
Fm                       Db 
Raised my head above the haze 
               Ab 
I woke up to a world 
              Eb 
I feel almost humanized 
Fm                Db 
Tender loving all around 
             Ab 
Apparently profound 
                       Eb 
Through self-deceitful eyes 
 
Cm                       Fm 
Now what am I supposed to be 
Db                Ab 
For sure it can't be me 
           Eb 
In orderly array 
Db                  Fm 
My, it's feeling so unreal 
                   Eb 
How daunting to be free 
Cm              Db 
In the light of day 
Abm     Bbm 
Lost in this world 
Fm              F#  Ab 
With no place to go 
 
Ab                                             Bb 
Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight 
Cm      Ab                Bb 
Veiling boon, ghost in the moon 
         Ab 
Grant me admission tonight 
                    Cm          Bb 
Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright 
Gm     Cm     Ab           Bb 
Golden gloom, ghost in the moon 
 
( Db  Fm ) 
 
Fm                         Db 
Whispers sounding from the brake 
                        Ab 
Sinister eyes along the way 
                              Eb 
A phantom rushing through the night 
Fm                         Db 
Making haste, run from the dawn 
                Ab 
Back across the Rubicon 
                        Eb 
To the shelter from the light 
 
Cm                      Fm 
Before the sun is gonna rise 
     Db 
To reflect it in their eyes 
Ab                     Eb 
A sight no one's gonna stand 
Db                     Fm 
Oh your blood is gonna freeze 
                   Eb 
Different blood, a different breed 
Cm                   Db 
No one's gonna comprehend 
 
Db   Ab        Bbm 
They teach you love 
     Db       F#  Ab 
They make you belong 
F# 
Suck you in to spit you out 
            Ab 
The rage is on 
 
Eb                           Ab                Bb 
Awaiting the night to yell a prayer up to the starlight 
Gm      Cm    Ab           Bb 
Veiling boon, ghost in the moon 
Cm       Ab 
Grant me admission tonight 
Cm                              Bb 
Into your tenebrous wicked star-bright 
Gm     Cm 
Golden gloom 
Ab           Bb 
Ghost in the moon 
 
Ab             Bb 
Like a rushing thunder 
                      Cm 
You're a shade in the swampland 
Ab                        Bb              Cm 
And a Trojan horse they'd rowel into your dreams 
Ab                  Fm 
They chase you into dawn 
                   Cm 
To a silken bed of quicksand 
Fm                        Ab 
Rush, so you can breathe, they'll give you up 
                        Db 
You're in my world past remedy 
 
Fm      Eb 
Asking, wondering, look at me 
Ab       Db 
Waiting, prompting 
                  Eb 
I may be drawn to something 
        Ab 
That I can't phrase for you 
     Db 
Even though itâ??s true 
Fm         Eb                Ab 
I won't be what they long to see in me 
Db            Fm       Eb 
No matter how desperately 
Ab 
They reach out for me 
Db 
A sedating hand 
Fm 
They don't understand 
Eb 
I don't comprehend 
Ab 
I can't take no more 
Db               Fm 
Of their shallow light 
Burning me inside 
                                    Eb 
Then I am better off a scorn in the night 
 
( Bb  Eb  Gm  Fm ) 
 
  Bb              Eb 
I am rumour, I am nightmare 
     Gm                 F 
That I'm bound to dream myself 
Bb                  Eb 
Half human and it's frightening 
  Gm                  F 
To just guess the other half 
Bb                 Eb 
I'm a misfit on a journey 
Gm                 F 
And I'm afraid my destiny 
Bb                              Eb 
Has been sealed right from the outset 
  Gm             F 
To immure the real me 
Bb                Eb    Gm 
I'll wane in this world 
     F                     Eb 
Just me and the glow of the moon 
     F 
Yeah wow 
 
Bbm                  Fm                      Eb 
For the chill of the night is gonna summon a fire 
Bbm               Fm                        Eb 
A strange world on the brink, or a maniacal dream? 
Bbm         Fm                     Eb 
Dead matter alive, heart, soul and desire 
Eb 
Rise from the smoke and the fire 
Eb 
From maniacal dreams 
Eb 
Crucible-born and unseen 
Eb 
Megalo-maniacal dream 
Eb 
Megalo-maniacal dream 
 
( Eb ) 
 
             Ab           Db 
To chase the ghost in the moonglow 
Eb                       Db 
Throw your gown upon the light 
Ab  Db                Eb 
Ghost in the moonglow 
Db               Eb       Db 
Whisper from the starlit skies 
 
Bb   Eb          F 
Dark frame a fire 
 Eb          F         Eb   Bb 
Mystery of a blood red rose 
Eb                F 
Moon spark a fire 
Eb                       Bb 
You won't leave me on my own 
 
Final Eb  Bb  Eb
