Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I'm the latest apparition

Cutting slices in the night

I come through without permission

Moving in and out of sight

I'm the tapping on your shoulder

I'm the raven in the storm

I'll take shelter in your rafters

I'm the shiver when you're warm

Chorus

  I'm the gold in California

  I'm the well in Mexico

  Like the vultures in the valley

  I will wait for you to go

I'm the gypsy in your pocket

I'm the horseman in your dreams

I'm the reason dogs are barking

I'm the hand that stops the scream

I'm the baby's cry that isn't

I am the distant relative

I'm the scratching in the ceiling

I'm advice you shouldn't give

Chorus

I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman

My foot will be there in your door

Though I can walk through walls and windows

I will knock just like before

I'm the darkness in your daughter

I'm the spot beneath the skin

I'm the scarlet on the pavement

I am the broken heart within

Chorus

I won't take a train to nowhere

I will not touch just anyone

Ask a stranger why I'm waiting

In the chamber of a gun

Hint: At first, the strum pattern in the Verse/Intro seemed

somewhat awkward. Hitting all the "D" chords on the

UP stroke rather than the DOWN stroke seems right.
