My Friend the Ghost

– – – – by Tommy Dorsey  

Intro:  [ G C D – G C D ]  [G] I got a real good [C] friend who is a [G] ghost. [C] He is the [G] most. [G7] Transparent little man. [G] We bounce around from [C] pillar to [G] post. [G7] Me and my [C] bosom pal [D] my friend the [G] ghost.  [ G C D ]

[G] Whenever we go [C] out on a [G] spree,  [C] he says to [G] me, [G7] how about a little chat. [G] Then pretty soon I’m [C] deeply [G] engrossed [G7] in a [C] discussion with my [D] friend the [G] ghost. [G]

He [C] thinks what [C7] I think, and he [C] drinks what I drink. In [D] fact, we’re [D7] unique. In our [D] clique, so to speak.

[G] We get along like [C] peas in a [G] pod. [C] Sounds kind of [G] odd, [G7] but when I need a friend, [G] he bounces in and [C] starts playing [G] host. [G7] Well, look who’s [C] standing here [D] my friend the [G] ghost. 

He’s [C] usually [C7] here with some [C] cheer every day. He’s [D] sure been a [D7] pal since [D] my gal went away.

[G] Although you may not [C] see him at [G] first, [C] just quench your [G] thirst [G7] soon he will be along.  [G] Don’t get me wrong, I [C] don’t mean to [G] boast [G7] but you can count upon [C] my [D] friend the [G] ghost.
