Ghost Story chords by Charming Disaster

Verse 1: Ellia Bisker:

D               A
People bring me casseroles

    E            D       F#m
And pray for his immortal soul

     D            A
They think I'm in widow's weeds

     E              D      F#m
But pity's the last thing I need


  D                  A
I dress in black and wear a veil

   E                    D       F#m
To hide bright eyes and skin so pale

    D                 A
And make sure that nobody sees

    E                A
The marks of love my lover leaves


Hook:

                           D  E   A
Since the day they told me he was gone

                          D   E   A
Haunts me faithfully from dusk till dawn

                         D  E  A
Hear him whisper sweetly in my ear

                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here


                       D   E  A
Feel his fingertips caress my hair

                         D  E    A
Turn around and there is nothing there

                       D   E    A
Phantom arms around me sleeping near

                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here


Verse 2: Jeff Morris:

D                A
When some people pass away

           E                D        F#m
They don't reach the heaven that they prayed

D                 A
Bitter about the fallacy

    E                D      F#m
The afterlife turned out to be


     D                  A
They bitch and moan and hide your keys

   E                D    F#m
Or talk to psychics on TV

D                   A
They just groan and shake their chains

       E                             A
When I say my baby's on the physical plane


Hook:

                       D    E     A
When I died upon that cold cold night

                     D    E     A
Made a promise never leave her side

                             D    E     A
Now she knows that there's nothing to fear

                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here


                 D       E     A
I run my fingers through her hair

                             D    E     A
She turns around and there's nothing there

                        D    E     A
Wrap my arms around her sleeping near


                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here x2


Bridge: Ellia Bisker:

   D               E                  A                  F#m
My husband cooling in the ground, the worms crawl in and out

   D            E                  A          F#m
My lover's disembodied soul makes me so happy now

D                    E                A              F#m
When they drew their pistols and they fired each one shot

    D               E                A                 F#m
How could I have imagined this sweet bliss would be my lot


Bridge: Jeff Morris:

   D            E            A                          F#m
I used to be an angry man, I wanted things that weren't mine

   D             E             A               F#m
At fifteen paces in the sand I left that all behind

D              E                   A               F#m
Now my spirits rise when she turns out the bedroom light

  D               E            A               F#m
I gently haunt my lover in the cold and tender night


Hook:

                            D  E A
They try to comfort me with platitudes

                         D    E     A
They don't know I'm in a real fine mood

                           D    E   A
There's no reason I should shed one tear

                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here


                     D        E     A
Don't talk to me of "death do us part"

                        D       E     A
Between us we share one beating heart

                       D   E A
Candles flicker in the chandelier


                       D    E     A
Can't you see we got a good thing here x 3
