The Ghost of Paul Nelson

VERSE
Dm
It started as a rumour
A whisper went around
G
Then sightings started happening
All over town

In his favourite haunts
Objects were there to find
Ash of Sherman Cigarillos
And some post-its left behind
And---

CHORUS
A7
Two cokes to toast
                              Dm
The ghost of Paul Nelson

VERSE
It was seen wandering on Fenchaw
And the record store on Vine
It ran the New York Marathon
In record-breaking time

At Jackson Hole his table
There was a burger floating there

CHORUS

In the old video store
It was unpacking DVDs
Except now the shop sells lingerie
The manager was peeved

...
...
...
...
And spilt---

VERSE
It was caught smoking in the Brazen Head
And an old lady screamed
And now it's stopping traffic
So the mayor has intervened

Friends gathered for the seance
It's exorcising time
Clint he took a whisky
Bobby wanted wine
And---

CHORUS
