A E A Tell me, didn t she love me, didn t he care? E B7 E Nobody saw me out I was right there (I was doing a head count) A E A E A E B7 E A E A E Now I m out of the picture, yeah, I m off of the hook A E B7 E Just a chuck of time, that was all that it took A E A E Was it a shot from a gun, a slip of a knife? A E B7 E I don t know what killed me, Lord, it might have been life A E A E I had a few children, wrote a few songs A E B7 E I got some of it right and a lot of it wrong A E A E I bought a few houses, a few boats, a few cars B7 Being a ghost you might as well be on Mars Cause you re so far off A E A E A E B7 E A E A E Being a ghost is, you re just in between A E B7 E Each and every day of the year is Halloween, yeah A E A E You re hanging around but you re not really there A E B7 E You re hovering over your own old easy chair A E A E Lord, I was hoping for heaven, that would ve been swell A E B7 E Cause being a ghost, Lord, it s just like being in hell A E A E You re hungry and you re tired and you can t get no rest A E B7 E An though I d settle for heaven, oblivion would be best A E A E I ve been flying around rattling chains A B7 E Appearing in mirrors just to make you insane A E Making those noises in your house late at night, yeah B7 I got to haunt you even though it ain t right A E A E My Old dog misses me so A E B7 E To the beach or the dog park, he don t want to go A E A E No, he lies there waiting at the foot of my bed A E B7 E Because he knows I m right there even though I m dead . . .
