There’s a man who used to live up on the top floor
Cm Bb Fm Ab
It’s obvious he never found what he was looking for
Cm Bb Fm Ab
And he appeared to me one night when I came walking through that door
Cm Bb Fm Ab
I looked around and he’s not there anymore
Cm Bb Fm Ab
He’s here (yeah), then he disappeared
Cm Bb Fm Ab
Saw the ghost of a man and his voice I did hear
Cm Bb Fm Ab
He told me to be quiet, it was crystal clear
Cm Bb
I looked around, and it filled me full of

[Chorus] (CHANGE STRUME NG PATTERN - THDE C WNSTROKES (LISTEN TO THE SONG TO LEARN TIE NG))
Cm Bb
Then I ran all the way to my room
Fm Ab
Like an embryo inside the womb
Cm Bb
Stuck my head under the covers like a loon
Fm Ab
Soon my head was light like a balloon, yeah

This man, he had a problem with excess noise
Cm Bb Fm Ab
After dark, he put his finger to his lips and the sound was sharp

The apparition bluntly remarked
Cm Bb Fm Ab
Soon the hair stood straight up off my arms
Cm Bb Fm Ab
I felt so strange, slightly deranged
Cm Bb
Saw the ghost of a man that killed himself
Fm Ab
With a bullet at close range
Cm Bb
But in the afterlife, he still complained
Fm Ab
'Bout the noise in the hall, he never changed
Cm Bb Fm Ab
Looking back, I wish I could remember his name
[Chorus] (CHANGE STRUME NG PATTERN - THDE C WNSTROKES (LISTEN TO THE SONG TO LEARN TIE NG))

Then I ran all the way to my room

I saw the ghost of a man

Straight to my bed I ran

Look up at the ceiling fan

When my friends saw my face
Cm
Sweat dripping like I just won the race
Ab Bb
This memory I can’t erase
