[Verse 1]
[C]She
makes me so unsure of my[Am]self[G]
[C]Standing there but never
ever talk[Am]ing s[G]ense
Just a [F]visitor [C]you see
So much [F]wanting to be [C]seen
She'd [F]open up [C]the door
s and vaguely [Dm]carry us away
[G]It's the

[Verse 2]
[C]customary thing to say [Am]or do[G]
To a dis[C]appointed proud
man in his [Am]grief[G]
And on Fri[F]days she'd [Em]be there
But on [F]Mondays not [Em]at all
Just [F]casually ap[Em]pearing from
the [Dm]clock across [G]the hall

[Verse 3]
You're [C]a ghost,
la la la [Am]la la la [G]la la la
You're [C]a ghost, la la la la la [Am]la la [G]la la
I'm [F]the church and [Em]I've come
To [F]claim you with my [Em]iron drum
[Eb]La la la la la[Dm] la

[Verse 4]
The [C]Continent's just [G]fallen
in dis[Am]grace[G]
William, Wil[C]liam,
William [G]Rogers put it in [Am]it s pl[G]ace
Blood [F]and tears from old Ja[Em]pan
Cara[F]vans and lots [Em]of jam
[F]And maids of honor [C]singing,
crying, [Dm]singing tediously
[G]You're a ghost,

[Verse 5]
[C]la la la la [Em]la la [Am]la la la
[G]Yes, you're a g[C]host,
la la la la la [Am]la la [G]la la
I'm [F]the bishop and I've [C]come
To [F]claim you with my [C]iron drum
[Eb]La la la la la[Dm] la

[Verse 6]
[C]Efficiency, efficiency, [Am]they say[G]
Get to [C]know the date and
tell the time of [Am]day[G]
As [F]the crowds begin com[Em]plaining
How the [F]Beaujolais is [Em]raining
[F]Down on darkened [C]meetings on
[Dm]the Champs-Élysées[G]

[Verse 7]
You're [C]a ghost,
la [Em]la la la [Am]la la la la [G]la
You're [C]a ghost,

And I'm the [F]church and [C]I've come
To [F]claim you with my [Em]iron drum

[Verse 9]
la la la la la la [Am]la l[G]a la
You're [C]a ghost,
