Ghosts Embodied chords by Nahko And Medicine For The People

Intro:
Am F


Verse 1:
     Am     F     G      Am
Well I'd like to be enjoying the hight of a giant
    Am    F      C G
or the will of a great chief son.
     Am        F       G          Am
But I'm somewhere in the middle with my feet slipping of the pedals.
    Am    G       Am
I'm a two-legged bended wounded knee.

    Am         F      G       Am
And my silence turned to thoughts in my constant disbelieve.
  Am     F      C G
I exist personified as the truth.
   Am        F         G     Am
Do I live life like a thief or am I just reading energy?
       Am        G          Am
That which I teach through my teeth 'comes what I preach.

    Am         F        G      Am
Oh, I sure would like to live without the burden of commitment,
    Am      F         C G
not attached to any person, place or thing.
     Am      F       G    Am
But it's such a heavy load to carry nowhere alone.
   Am     G Am
I am hopeful but tiring.


Chorus:
   Am    F   G     Am
Because some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Am    F      C E
like a face or a figure in the flesh.
Am    F      G      Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment.
    Am     G  C E
It was never really ever there,
    Am     G  Am
it was never really ever there.


Interlude:
Am F


Verse 2:
    Am          F      G      Am
Well I sure would like to thrust all my shadows to the dust,
    Am     F     C G
to purify and may justice be served.
     Am       F    G       Am
Such and old man for a young man, understanding what he can
   Am     G   Am
of a blessing and of a curse.

   Am       F      G     Am
As a ghost taking a form a very temporary form,
    Am     F       C G
may it be uncommonly found in a grove,
        Am     F       G    Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
    Am     G     Am
and I know I don't seek this alone.
    Am     G     Am
Yes I know I don't seek this alone.


Chorus:
   Am    F   G     Am
Because some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Am    F      C E
like a face or a figure in the flesh.
Am    F      G      Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment.
    Am     G  C E
It was never really ever there,
    Am     G  Am
it was never really ever there.


Instrumental:
Am C F E
Am F


Verse 3:
    Am      F    G      Am
Well I like to set afoot and have myself a look
      Am     F    C G
around the bend of the great red road.
    Am     F       G        Am
I would offer up a pipe for the chorus?:, for my life,
     Am     G     Am
for the guidance and wisdom to know... that...


Chorus:
Am    F   G     Am
some of us are ghosts embodied,
    Am    F      C E
like a face or a figure in the flesh.
Am    F      G      Am
What you saw was a reflection of a moment.
    Am     G  C E
It was never really ever there,
    Am     G  Am
it was never really ever there.


Outro:
        Am     F       G    Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
    Am     G     Am
and I know I don't seek this alone.
        Am     F       G    Am
I choose a community of trees over a community of buildings
    Am     G     Am
