Key: G

Intro:

G D C G  x4

Verse:
G                               D
he came knocking down the street lights
C                               G
tearing up the new grass on the lawn
G                          D
  he was frightening off the livestock
C                        G
  I could feel him coming on
        C                   G
I let the Citranella dissolve in my hand
C                    D
I began to feel real bad
           G                               C
when the ghost of your father comes to town
G                         C
what the hell else can you do
            G
I flung open all the windows
D

put the water on for tea
           C
and let him pass right on through

Interlude:
G D C G x2

Verse:
G                           D
  he took to knocking over furniture
C                                 G
getting into the reception on the wireless
G                       D
   he tore up all the dry goods in the pantry
C                          G
  he was strong and he was tireless
                C             G
when the priest came to call, I sent him on his way
       C                          D
I got a tremor in my hands and my feet are made of clay
        G                            C
when the ghost of your father starts pushing you around
G                             C
   how are you gonna make him stop
G                     D        C
   I took down all the crosses, I let him set up shop
