Ghost Blues chords
Loudon Wainwright III (album version)
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
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
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
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)
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 . . .
