A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
I had my hopes of how I would be
Dmaj7Dmaj7
After living in exile,
E MajorE D MajorD
After closing your eyes to me.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
I even wrote scenes where I re emerged boldly,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Bearded, alive and Eskimo eyed,
E MajorE D MajorD
New baby on my back.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
But I didn't count the fact that I have ghosts in my mind,
E MajorE
Stowaways,
Dmaj7Dmaj7 E MajorE
Great ghosts of my life, great ghosts of old wives.
D MajorD
And they're howling!
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
So I spent my wilderness time rolling on the ground
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Pulling my hair and wrestling them off,
E MajorE
Yelling at no one,
D MajorD
Punching snow.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
I gathered ghosts and gave them a lecture,
E MajorE
I bid them away,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
I pleaded and cried:
E MajorE D MajorD
"There's no room in my life for you, or you or your howling!
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
Let me undo these ropes and go on living without you,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
not just change where I live.
E MajorE
Oh go on, get!" I said.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
I had my hopes, of how I would be after sending them off,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
After getting set free.
E MajorE D MajorD
But there's no such thing as living without their prowling.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
As you can see, having descended the hill,
E MajorE
I still look like me,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
I still wallow like Phil,
E MajorE D MajorD
And forever will.
A augmentedA G#G# F# minorF#m E MajorE
I'm teaming with ghosts and I'm still whining for wives,
Dmaj7Dmaj7
Bidding my brow, but now I've surrendered.
E MajorE
In fact I've joined in.
E MajorE
Listen close...
D MajorD
You can hear us howling!
