BOB PORTER - GHOSTS OUT IN THE FOG
STANDARD TUNING
NO CAPO
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I've seen it all, the rise and fall, now the fishin' stocks are gone
C G
It's a different way of life, but we'll go on
G
We faced the icy winds and cold out on the northern sea
C D G
Where the cod stocks made a livin' once for me
[Verse 2]
G
And I remember years ago when men, they made their daily catch
C G
With cod tongues from the heads of fish we'd snatch
G
For a buck a pound, we'd all go down close by the water's edge
C D G
And we'd wait for skulls to fall down from the ledge
[Chorus]
G
But if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
C F C G
I can still see men in the morning sail away
G
I believe I see a vision in my dream from on this log
C D G
Rise from the seas like ghosts out in the fog
[Verse 3]

G
As we'd stare once more at an empty shore where capelin used to race
C D G
And we'd leave for good, the tears rolled down our face

G

C F C G
I can still see men in the morning sail away
G
I believe I see a vision in my dream from on this log
C D G

[Verse 4]
G
But the years they drift behind us and the dreams we had are gone
C G
And we realize it's time now to move on
G
Like an ember from the chimney of a wood stove, time it flies
C D G
And it fades away like stars up in the sky
[Chorus]
G
But if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
C F C G
I can still see men in the morning sail away
G
I believe I see a vision in my dream from on this log
C D G
Rise from the seas like ghosts out in the fog
[Chorus]
G
But if I stare out long enough over the mist upon the bay
C F C G
I can still see men in the morning sail away
G
I believe I see a vision in my dream from on this log
C D G
Rise from the seas like ghosts out in the fog
C D G
They rise from the seas like ghosts out in the...
