[Intro]
A E 4x
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
[Verse 1]
A E A E You late husband, that would be me A E B7 E I've been gone so long I'm just a faint memory A E A E I've been disparaged in passing by your friends late at night A E B7 E I blew out the candles on em, it served em right
[Verse 2]
A E A E The day that I died, I knew I was toast A B7 E Next day I was hanging out with Marley's ghost A E A E Help this father, he's a friend of mine B7 That old Cain can't keep from crying
[Verse 3]
A E A E At my memorial service there was quite a turnout A E B7 E Some stayed away, hey, what was that all about? 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)
[Instrumental]
A E A E A E B7 E
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 A Cause you're so far off
[Instrumental]
A E A E A E B7 E
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Outro]
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 . . .
