The Five Ghosts

Am           G               F
When I was a little girl the world 
was small to me
Am               G                
All the light in my life filtered 
F
softly through the trees
    Am             G              
The shadows in the photographs, 
   F
five ghosts who followed me
      Am         G
I was only truly frightened once
     F
They called my name and said they 
wanted me
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye

Am             G                
When I grew in age and fame and 
F
travelled through the world
        Am           G         F
All the rives of the city like flags
 of blue unfurled
   Am                  G           
Me pressed against the railing, me 
F
taken to a room
   Am              G             
Me breaking in the morning, dark 
F
with a sense of coming doom
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye

Am               G              
Now I have grown old and all my 
F
grace and beauty gone
     Am                 G         
Five ghosts surround my garden, I 
      F
don't tell them to move on
       Am          G               
I walk deeper into shade now, that 
F
dappled light again
  Am               G               
I see you standing at the gate, my 
F
one and only friend
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
Em                          C
Oh, what a beautiful day to try to 
die
Bm                                
Oh, for one sweet second without 
   Am                D
the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
