[Intro]

[Verse]
  A
The blue around the morning moon
                  D
The color of your eyes
A
I remember holding you
                      D
A fall through summer skies
A
You're everything that I've become
                D
In every word I say
         A
I need a bell, book and candle
             E      A
To keep your ghost away

[Verse 2]
A
White horses on a troubled sea
                              D
Your smile will flash through time
A
Up ahead a blackbirds wing
                       D
Your hair will come to mind
A
Every night I see your face
               D
When I have to pray
         A
I need a bell, book and candle
             E      A
To keep your ghost away

[Bridge]
D
Keep your ghost away
A
Keep your ghost away
         A
I need a bell, book and candle
             E
To keep your ghost away

[Verse 3]
A
Just before the thunder roars
                    D
I sense you next to me
    A
And as I move through nature
                      D
I know where you must be
A
So I must keep myself apart
                   D
Here is where I'll stay
       A
With a bell, book and candle
             E      A
To keep your ghost away
