 There were Dghosts in the eyes of aGll the boys that you sDent away Dsus2 D

 They haunt these dusty beach roads in the sAkeleton frames of burnGed out Chevrolets

 And they scream your name at night in the Astreet

 The graduation Dgown lies in rags at thGeir feet

 You hear theG engines roaring on

 But when you Aget to the porch they're gone

 On the wiGnd

 So Mary climb Emin
