Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][G][D][C][A][G][D][C]
[A]

[Verse 1]
Mary [G]at home, as always,
was [D]ironing [C]a pale shirt of [A]a ghost
Trying [G]to straighten out every [D]crease of his being
and [C]the emptiness where she [A]was lost
Ten minutes before [G]she had her man
dry[D]ing in the summer's breeze
Their love had been helped by [C]a little red peg
but [D]it was just a moment seized
[A]

[Verse 2]
'Cause [Bm]he flew [G]awa[Em]y
On a [A]memory where most
[Bm]People fade [G]away[Em]
But now she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost[G][Em]
Yeah she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][A]

[Verse 3]
Ten minutes before [G]he ran away [D]to
a stranger's hands and feet
And [F#m]as it turned she saw[C] them play among the soa[D]p,
water and heat.
[A]

[Verse 4]
'Cause [Bm]he flew [G]awa[Em]y
On a [A]memory where [Bm]most
Lovers [G]just fade [Em]away
And she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost[G][Em]
Yeah she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][A][Dm]

[Verse 5]
Ten [Dm]minutes be[Am]fore the shirt was
[Gm]stained in anger and [Am]greed[Dm]
And it smelled of re[Am]venge from a broken [Gm]heart
and the shirt his body no longer did [A]need

[Verse 6]
'Cause he [Bm]flew [G]awa[Em]y
On a [A]memory where most
[Bm]Bodies just fade[G] away[Em]
But she's [A]left with the shirt of
a [Bm]ghost[G][Em]
Yeah she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost
[G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[A]
'Cause [Bm]he flew [G]awa[Em]y
On a [A]memory where most
[Bm]Lovers just fade[G] away[Em]
But she's [A]left with the shirt of
a [Bm]ghost[G][Em]
Yeah she's [A]left with the shirt
of a [Bm]ghost[G][Em]
She's [A]left with the shirt of a [Bm]ghost
