Ghost Mice - Cementville

We ^Cknew our ^Gstream would ^Amlead to a ^Fbigger ^Cstream And ^Geventually the ^Amriver, and ^Fout to the ^Csea It never ^Gseemed like a ^Ampossi-^Fbili-^Cty That we could ^Ggo be^Amyond our ^Fboundaries Be^Cyond my ^Gmother's ^Cscream^Fs ^G

^C We ^Gjumped over ^Amfences and we ^Fcut some ^Cdown As the ^Gstream got ^Amdeeper and ^Fwinded a^Cround When we ^Gfinally ^Ammade it ^Fto its ^Cmouth We ^Gstood in ^Amsilence in ^Fwhat we had ^Cfound We were a^Gfraid to make a ^Csound^{F G}

^CThere was this w^Garning, ^Amwritten in ^Fred: "This is the ^Cland of the ^GSenecas, keep ^Amout!" then Beas^Ftmaster said: "We ^Cshould not do this ^Gnow, Hawk", "No ^Amwe should turn a^Fround" "No we ^Cshould not do this ^Gnow Hawk", "No ^Amwe should turn a^Fround" "Make some ^Cplans then come ^Gback and ^Cattack"

^C We ^Gwent to ^Amschool and we ^Ftold the ^Cgang We ^Gall met ^Amup the next ^FSa-tur-^Cday Armed ^Gto the ^Amteeth with ^FBB ^Cguns, Ram^Gbo knives ^Amand ma^Fchetes We ^Cwere a ^Gwicked little t^Ceam ^{F G}

^C We ^Gmarched be^Amside the ^Fnew found ^Cstream There ^Gwere red ^Ampalm prints ^Fon the ^Ctrees We ^Gfound their ^Amclub so ^Feasi^Cly We ^Gripped up ^Amevery^Fthing We ^Cshowed ^Gno merc^Cy ^{F G}

^C We painted ^Glightning bolts ^Am And we ^Fleft a note to ^Clet our ene^Gmies know that this ^Amwar had be^Fgun We said:^C "You ^Ggot no rights^Am to ^Fpost that kind of ^Csign" "These woods does ^Gnot belong to ^Amyou or any^Fone" "And your ^Cwarnings ^Gdon't scare ^Cus"

"Because^Dm, we move ^Amsilently We ^Ehide in the shadows ^Amof the trees and^Dm we will ^Amnot be ^Eseen ^Dm We can dis^Amarm the traps, just ^Eset, set our ^Amown that you will ^Dmtrip Our ^Amarrows ^Ewill fly ^Amstraighter ^Dm These woods does ^Amnot belong^E to ^Amanyone, but ^Dmif it must it ^Amwill belong to ^Eus ^Dm We have ^Amwon this day,^E you should ^Amknow our names We ^Dmare the ^AmGladi^Eator^Cs"

^F We made ^Gmaps, we gave ^Cnames to all the ^Ampaths ^F We found the ^Gplace that gave our ^Clittle town its ^Amname ^FIt looked like a ^Gcastle but it was ^Cwhere they made the ce^Amment at To ^Fus it was ^Gsuch a magic ^Cplace

^F We made a ^Gtemple out of ^Cwood and we ^Amfilled it with the ^Fbones That we ^Gfound in the ^Cwoods so people ^Amwould leave us ^Falone We were ^Gyoung, we were ^Cdumb, we were ^Amhaving so much ^Ffun The new kings ^Gof the new king^Cdom

^Am We en^Gjoyed our vic^Ctory ^Am We got a ^Gmessage from^C some^Fone named Gypsy ^Am He said: "Your ^Gbones do not scare^C me ^Am This war's not ^Gover and I ^Cthink that we should ^Fmeet The ^Amtemple, this ^GFriday at ^C3"

^E I woke up early before ^Fschool and I ran back to the ^Cspot It was filled with traps,^G just like I thought ^E I tore them up and left a ^Fnote, and said: "Is this some kind of ^Cjoke? There's much more to us than ^Gjust old bones"

And the ^Ctop of the ^Gcastle is ^Fwhere we would meet next This time the ^Ctime and the ^Gplace were ^Fthings that we picked We said "No ^Cweapons", we ^Gsaid "No ^Ftricks" We did the ^Cbest to hide the ^Gfact that we were ^Fjust some little kids We were ^Cjust some ^Glittle ^Ckids

^C I was ^Gscared when I saw ^Amhim ^{F C} He looked much ^Golder and I ^Amthought that he might ^Fbe a Vet ^C Beast^Gmaster climbed the ^Amwall and ^Fsaw he had a ^Crifle hidden ^Gon a rope ^Amhanging in the ^Fpit I said: "We ^Csaid no ^Gweapons" and we called him out on ^Cit ^{F G}

^C He didn't ^Gknow how I could ^Amknow ^{F C} Un^Gtil he turned a^Amround ^{F C} Beast^Gmaster had ^Amclimbed up right ^Fbehind him ^C And didn't ^Gmake a ^Amsou^Fnd And ^Cwe really ^Ghad him ^Cnow ^{F G}

^Dm We talked f^Amor a while ^Ewith this s^Ctranger about the ^Dmnatives of this ^Amland, our ^Egangs, and ^Cnature ^Dm When we got ^Amhome again We ^Edidn't know what to ^Cthink of him But it ^Dmseemed like the war was ^Amover and the ^Gtrees held no more ^Cdanger I was ^Csad to ^Gsee it ^Cgo

^F A few days ^Glater I ran ^Cin to him ^Amalone At the ^Fplace that used to ^Gbe his o^Cld gang's ^Ambase ^F He told me ^Gstories of their^C glory ^Amdays Before his ^Ffriends grew ^Gup or they^C moved ^Amaway And we ^Edecided that day that we would^Am build something new We would^C build it together, it would ^Grepresent our truce And as ^EI got to know him, it go^Amt easy to see that ^Che was just a kid who loved the ^Gwoods like me He was a ^Cfriend, he was ^Gnot an ene^Cmy

^C We made our ^Genemies our ^Cfriends We should have ^Amnever been ^Genemies with ^Cthem We made our ^Genemies our ^Amfrien^Fds And our ^Cgang got ^Gtwice as ^Cbig ^{G C}
