Chorus 1:
  B7B7    C# minorC#m   G# minorG#m     D#mD#m
The Edison Museum, not open to the public
  B7B7       C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m      D#mD#m
Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it
G# minorG#m         C# minorC#m
Folks drive in from out of town
  D#mD#m             G# minorG#m
To gaze in amazement when they see it

Verse 1:
BB         E MajorE   BB        E MajorE
Just outside the gate I look into the courtyard
BB   E MajorE         BB   E MajorE
Underneath the gathering thunderstorm
BB        E MajorE    BB        E MajorE
Through the iron bars, I see the Black Mariah
 BB    E MajorE       D#mD#m G# minorG#m
Revolving slowly on its platform
F#F#       BB    C# minorC#m  D#mD#m  G# minorG#m
In the topmost tower, a light burns dim
 F#F#   BB    C# minorC#m D#mD#m   G# minorG#m
A augmentedA coiling filament glowing within

Chorus 2:
  B7B7    C# minorC#m  G# minorG#m       D#mD#m
The Edison Museum, once a bustling factory
 B7B7      C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m       D#mD#m
Today is but a darkened, cobweb covered hive of industry
  G# minorG#m       C# minorC#m
The tallest, widest and most famous
D#mD#m          G# minorG#m
Haunted mansion in New Jersey

Verse 2:
BB        E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Behind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas Alva
BB     E MajorE    BB  E MajorE
Recites a poem on a phonograph
BB          E MajorE      BB       E MajorE
Ghosts float up the stair, like silent moving pictures
  BB   E MajorE        D#mD#m   G# minorG#m
The loyal phantoms of his in-house staff
 F#F#        BB     C# minorC#m D#mD#m  G# minorG#m
A augmentedA wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt
  F#F#        BB    C# minorC#m  D#mD#m    G# minorG#m
But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out

Chorus 3:
  B7B7         C# minorC#m     G# minorG#m       D#mD#m
So when your children quarrel and nothing seems to quell them
B7B7          C# minorC#m       G# minorG#m   D#mD#m
Tell them that you'll take them to the Edison Museum
  G# minorG#m     C# minorC#m
The largest independently owned
  D#mD#m      G# minorG#m
And operated mausoleum
