Verses: | Cm Bb | Gm Gm | Cm Bb | Gm F |
| Cm Bb | Gm Gm | Cm Bb | Gm F |

Chorus: | Eb Eb | Cm Cm |
| C# F | C# F |
| C# Eb | F F |
[Verse 1]
Cm Bb
It took fourteen hours to hitch from London to Portsmouth
Gm Gm
I can picture you in your battered old coat
Cm Bb
Blown by the trucks on the side of the road
Gm F
Cursing the world just until one pulls over
Cm Bb
The cab is warm, the driver is talking
Gm Gm
And oh if he had his time over and over again
Cm Bb
And you laugh with the man but you think of another
Gm F
Stealing away around each darkened corner
Cm Bb Cm
The ghost of your father always always watching
[Chorus]
Eb Cm
And he waits for you when the black tide comes
C# F
And you feel the ghost of your father
C# F
And you feel the ghost of your father
C# Eb F
And you feel the ghost of your father... waiting
[Verse 2]
An unbearable stillness hangs over these days
Humming with the promises broken
The bewildered watch from behind misted-up glass
As the ambitious and lucky get to feed on the carcass
When you feel so much in such a small space
Do you think you can keep on running
Like the papers that blow down your empty street
Outside in the dark when you can't sleep
The ghost of your father always always watching
[Chorus]
And he waits for you when the black tide comes
And you feel the ghost of your father
And you feel the ghost of your father
And you feel the ghost of your father... waiting
