[Verse]
    C/C           G/B       F/A     G11/G
She makes me so unsure of myself

C/C                G/B                F/A     G11/G
Standing there but never ever talking sense

       F/F         C/E
Just a visitor you see

        F/F           C/E
So much wanting to be seen

      F/F         C/E
She'd open up the door

             G11/D
and vaguely carry us a way
[Verse]
         C/C       G/B             F/A     G11/G
It's the customary thing to say or do

     C/C          G/B              F/A     G11/G
To a disappointed proud man in his grief

       F/F              C/E
And on Fridays she'd be there

       F/F            C/E
But on Mondays not at all

      F/F       C/E
Just casually appearing

         G11/D
from the clock across the hall
[Chorus]
         C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
You're a ghost la la la       la

         C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
You're a ghost la la la       la

        F/F             C/E
I'm the church and I've come

   F/F               C/E
To claim you with my iron drum

Eb/Eb   Eb/Eb    Bb/D    Bbm/Db     C/C

The Continent's just fallen in disgrace

         C/C             G/B                  F/A     G11/G
William William William Rogers put it in its place

           F/F            C/E
Blood and tears from old Japan

   F/F               C/E              F/F
Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor

   C/E           G11/D
singing crying singing tediously
[Chorus]
         C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
You're a ghost la la la       la

              C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
Yes, you're a ghost la la la       la

        F/F             C/E
I'm the bishop and I've come

   F/F               C/E
To claim you with my iron drum

Eb/Eb   Eb/Eb    Bb/D    Bbm/Db     C/C

[Interlude] N.C. [Verse]
C/C          G/B           F/A     G11/G
Efficiency efficiency they say

       C/C               G/B              F/A     G11/G
Get to know the date and tell the time of day

         F/F            C/E
As the crowds begin complaining

         F/F            C/E
How the Beaujolais is raining

 F/F               C/E              G11/D
Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Elysee
[Chorus]
         C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
You're a ghost la la la       la

         C/C         G/B      F/A     G11/G
You're a ghost la la la       la

    F/F             C/E
