           E         A          E  A
You gotta walk that mile Honeychild
           E         A          E  A
You gotta walk that mile Honeychild
            E               A
Well I'll show you what is hip
       E                  A
As we walk down Leeson strip
          E              A   B      E
And I'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Chorus:
           E         A
Just the ghost the ghost of a smile
           E         A
Just the ghost the ghost of a smile

You can't take it with you when you go
You can't take it with you when you go
You gotta walk, walk that mile.
I'll be with you, honey child
And I'll do it for the ghost of a smile

Chorus

Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Or I'll be gone

Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Don't wait too long
Or I'll be gone

Chorus:
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

The ghost of a smile
The ghost of a smile
The ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
