[Verse 1]
C               Em        Am      G
She makes me so unsure of myself
C              Em             Am            G
Standing there but never ever talking sense
F                  C
Just a visitor you see
        F             C
So much wanting to be seen
      F           C         Dm               G
She'd open up the doors and vaguely carry us away

         C         Em       Am        G
It's the customary thing to say or do
     C            Em               Am     G
To a disappointed proud man in his grief
       F                C
And on Fridays she'd be there
       F              C
But on Mondays not at all
     F        C                  Dm               G
Just casually appearing from the clock across the hall


[Chorus]
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
        F               C
I'm the church and I've come
        F               C
To claim you with my iron drum
D#       D              C
La la la la la la la la la la

[Verse 2]
    C                Em        Am        G
The Continent's just fallen in disgrace
        C               Em            Am           G
William William William Rogers put it in its place
          F              C
Blood and tears from old Japan
       F             C       F
Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor
C              Dm              G
Singing crying singing tediously


[Chorus]
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
        F               C
I'm the bishop and I've come
        F               C
To claim you with my iron drum
D#       D              C

[Verse 3]
C          Em              Am   G
Efficiency efficiency they say
       C                 Em               Am     G
Get to know the date and tell the time of day
       F            C
As the crowds begin complaining
        F             C
How the Beaujolais is raining
        F        C               Dm         G
Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Elysées


[Chorus]
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
         C           Em          Am       G
You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
        F               C
I'm the church and I've come
        F               C
