Kings Road Ghosts Chords

Verse 1:
           Em             G                   D             C
I drove my car along the old bus route to my parents house today
          Em            G             D              C
And on my way I saw the places I once loved begin to fade
     Em         G                D                C
The recreation grounds I knew so well have been replaced
      Em               G                D                C
With worn out football pitches, tennis courts and empty space
 
 
 
Chorus:
            C             Em             D
I miss the days I used to know, I had a place
               C                   Em                 D
Where all the friends I thought I loved, weren't far away
          Em     Bm             C                     G
Before I lost my way and these streets still knew my name
            C       G           D                    Em
I miss the days I knew I had a place, a place in everything
 
 
Em, G, D, C x2
 
 
Verse 2:
              Em                          G
Now there are ghosts in the eyes of the checkout girls and the 
D                 C
Boys that run the bars
    Em               G                   D           C
Who 5 years ago were aspiring artists or poets with guitars
    Em                 C            G               D               C
We wore our hearts so far down our sleeves that we lost them day to day
          D                Em      C
But this place, isn't the same you see
G          D            Em          C
And these streets, don't feel like home to me
 
 
 
Chorus:
            C             Em             D
I miss the days I used to know, I had a place
               C                   Em                 D
Where all the friends I thought I loved, weren't far away
          Em     Bm             C                     G
Before I lost my way and these streets still knew my name
            C       G           D                    Em...
I miss the days I knew I had a place, a place in everything
 
Whoa's: ...Em - B - C - D - C - G - D
 
Bridge/Outro:
  Em                                   Bm
I parked the car and made my way down closer to the sea.
    C                G                  C      G      D
I inhaled the summer breeze and I felt free.     
    Em                                  Bm
I forgot how much I missed the way, the sun lit up the east coast bays
    C                        G             D                   Em
And made the north sea come alive, and at night we'd pass the lighthouse by
            C              G                 D
On the our way to drown ourselves in illegal wine.
          C                  G                D
And we'd stay awake til the morning cars went by,
     C             G              D
With nothing but a bus fare and a smile
       Em       D        C
And I couldn't help but smile.
