Ghost Mice - Cementville Chords

   C        G            Am        F      C
We knew our stream would lead to a bigger stream
    G              Am         F          C         
And eventually the river, and out to the sea
         G             Am    F    C
It never seemed like a possi-bili-ty
              G    Am       F
That we could go beyond our boundaries
  C       G        C     F    G
Beyond my mother's screams

C    G           Am            F        C
  We jumped over fences and we cut some down
       G          Am         F       C
As the stream got deeper and winded around
        G       Am      F      C
When we finally made it to its mouth
   G        Am         F           C
We stood in silence in what we had found
         G               C    F   G
We were afraid to make a sound



(Tempo change and different strumming)
C               G       Am         F 
There was this warning, written in red:
             C           G             Am             F
"This is the land of the Senecas, keep out!" then Beastmaster said:
    C                  G               Am              F 
"We should not do this now, Hawk", "No we should turn around"
       C                  G              Am              F
"No we should not do this now Hawk", "No we should turn around"
           C               G        C
"Make some plans then come back and attack"

C    G       Am            F        C
  We went to school and we told the gang
   G       Am          F      C
We all met up the next Sa-tur-day
      G      Am         F  C        G         Am    F
Armed to the teeth with BB guns, Rambo knives and machetes
   C      G              C   F   G
We were a wicked little team

C    G         Am       F         C
  We marched beside the new found stream
      G        Am          F      C
There were red palm prints on the trees
   G           Am      F   C
We found their club so easily
   G         Am   F
We ripped up everything
   C      G      C   F   G
We showed no mercy


(Tempo change and different strumming)
C           G               Am
 We painted lightning bolts
       F              C          G                   Am        F
And we left a note to let our enemies know that this war had begun
        C     G            Am  F                 C
We said: "You got no rights to post that kind of sign"
                  G             Am        F
"These woods does not belong to you or anyone"
          C        G           C 
"And your warnings don't scare us"


        Dm        Am
"Because, we move silently
   E                   Am              Dm       Am     E
We hide in the shadows of the trees and we will not be seen
Dm           Am                  E            Am                Dm
   We can disarm the traps, just set, set our own that you will trip
    Am     E        Am
Our arrows will fly straighter
Dm                  Am        E   Am          Dm            Am             E
   These woods does not belong to anyone, but if it must it will belong to us
Dm         Am           E           Am
   We have won this day, you should know our names
   Dm      Am   E   C
We are the Gladiators"

F         G             C                Am
  We made maps, we gave names to all the paths
F              G                   C               Am
  We found the place that gave our little town its name
F                G                 C                     Am
It looked like a castle but it was where they made the cement at
   F         G            C
To us it was such a magic place

F           G             C           Am                 F
  We made a temple out of wood and we filled it with the bones
        G            C               Am             F 
That we found in the woods so people would leave us alone
        G              C             Am             F
We were young, we were dumb, we were having so much fun
              G              C
The new kings of the new kingdom


Am      G            C
   We enjoyed our victory
Am          G           C    F
   We got a message from someone named Gypsy
Am                G                 C  
   He said: "Your bones do not scare me
Am                G          C                    F
   This war's not over and I think that we should meet
    Am           G         C
The temple, this Friday at 3"

E                        F                            C           
  I woke up early before school and I ran back to the spot
                         G
It was filled with traps, just like I thought
E                           F                                     C
  I tore them up and left a note, and said: "Is this some kind of joke?
                             G
There's much more to us than just old bones"

        C          G         F                     
And the top of the castle is where we would meet next
              C            G          F
This time the time and the place were things that we picked
            C            G        F
We said "No weapons", we said "No tricks"
           C                G                 F
We did the best to hide the fact that we were just some little kids
        C         G      C
We were just some little kids



(Back to slower tempo and the first strumming pattern)
C       G                 Am        F
  I was scared when I saw him
C                G           Am                    F
  He looked much older and I thought that he might be a Vet
C      G                  Am       F            C            G         Am             F
  Beastmaster climbed the wall and saw he had a rifle hidden on a rope hanging in the pit
            C       G                                 C  F  G
I said: "We said no weapons" and we called him out on it

C           G                Am            F
  He didn't know how I could know 
C   G              Am     F
  Until he turned around
C      G          Am               F
  Beastmaster had climbed up right behind him
C            G      Am F
  And didn't make a sound
    C         G       C   F   G
And we really had him now



(Tempo change and different strumming)
Dm            Am         E          C                 Dm              Am        E          C
   We talked for a while with this stranger about the natives of this land, our gangs, and nature
Dm             Am
   When we got home again
   E                   C      
We didn't know what to think of him
       Dm                      Am           E                  C
But it seemed like the war was over and the trees held no more danger
      C      G      C  
I was sad to see it go

F            G           C         Am
  A few days later I ran in to him alone
       F                  G       C         Am
At the place that used to be his old gang's base
F            G               C      Am
  He told me stories of their glory days
           F            G         C      Am
Before his friends grew up or they moved away
       E                             Am
And we decided that day that we would build something new
        C                            G
We would build it together, it would represent our truce
       E                       Am                 C                               G
And as I got to know him, it got easy to see that he was just a kid who loved the woods like me
         C              G         C
He was a friend, he was not an enemy


C             G           C
  We made our enemies our friends
               Am         G            C
We should have never been enemies with them
            G           Am   F
We made our enemies our friends
        C        G        C   G  C
And our gang got twice as big
