Ghost Quartet - Bad Men

Adim7 
Scheherazade was ending the story for the night 
Adim7 
And so Rose left the shop with a brand new camera 
Adim7 
And the number of the subway driver written on her arm 
F9(#11) 
But now the sun is rising 
            Adim7 
And that is all I am permitted to say 
N.C. 
Do you like my story Shah Zaman? 
Gb6(#11)/Db             Ab7(#9) 
It is a marvelous tale 
Ab7(#9) 
What a good, sweet, story it is 
Ab7(#9) 
You are a real Scheherazade 
Ab7(#9) 
How can this compare to the story 
Ab7(#9) 
I shall tell you tomorrow night 
Ab7(#9) 
If the shah spares me, and I am still alive? 

Adim7 
When I kill you, I will miss you 
Adim7 
How will you grieve for me, O Shah? 

Adim7 
I will command a great feast for the kingdom 
Adim7 
With the largest boar that the court has ever seen 
    Cdim7                     Ebdim7      F#dim7 
And great oaken casks full of honey-sweet wine 
          Adim7 
And we'll toast to the could-have-been queen 
             C#7              F#m/C# 
And when the feast is in full swing 
        C#7                   F#m/C# 
And the butterfly jesters are dancing 
D                       A/C#            Bm 
I will take the largest cask back to my room 
         F#m/C# 
And I'll drink all alone in my room 
         D          A 
And I'll cry like a baby 
         F#m/C# 
And I'll drink so much, I'll get sick 
         D                   A 
And I'll lie on the bathroom floor 
                     Bm 
Then I'll drink some more 
    Cdim7 
And I'll keep drinking for 42 years 
Cdim7 
An old, old man, all alone in his chair 
Cdim7              Ebdim7 
Watching game shows 
       F#dim7        Adim7 
Making fun of the contestants 
          Cdim7  Ebdim7            F#dim7 Adim7 
For their stupid answers and their wasted lives 
  Am6              Am6/F# 
A wasted sack of a man 
   Am6                Am6/F# 
An empty, brown paper bag, 
Am6/E     D9 
soggy and gross 
   Gm                A7/C# 
If you can lose your temper 
     Gm            A7/C# 
Then I can lose my mind 
   Gm                A7/C# 
If you can lose your temper 
     Gm            A7/C# 
Then I can lose my mind 
   Gm                A7/C# 
If you can lose your temper 
     Gm            A7/C# 
Then I can lose my mind 
   Gm                A7/C# 
If you can lose your temper 
     Gm            A7/C# 
Then I can lose my mind

And we'll see who's smarter, we'll see!

one piece of stardust

one secret baptism

and a photo of a ghost 

Cdim7 Adim7  Gbdim7 
Hello there, Bear 
  Cdim7    Adim7      Gbdim7 
I have the things you asked 
Cdim7    Adim7              Gbdim7 
I had to go through several lifetimes to get them 
Cdim7               Adim7 
And now I'm in your cave 
      Gbdim7 
In my sexy red cloak 
  Cdim7 Adim7  Gbdim7 
I know, little girl 
    Ebdim7 
And now I'm gonna eat you up, eat you up, eat you up like berries. 

    Em       D         G 
But will you do what I asked? 
Am       Em 
Maul the astronomer 
Am      Em     Am     C 
Turn my sister into a crow 
Adim7 
I'm not a murderer or a crazy person 
Abdim7 
I just like honey (he just likes honey) 
Abdim7 
You'll just have to do it yourself 
                     Cm 
Now, go away, little girl 
       Cm 
I hate you
