Intro: 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 . . .
