[Fm] [C]
[Fm] [C] [Fm]
Hidey, hidey, hidey, hide
Whoa
You didn't see me [F] climb through the [G] window
[C]
Nobody [Bbm] had to [C] open that door
I just climbed right through the wall
And I want [Fm] you one and all
Just stand aside and let me have [Gm] the floor
[C] Take a look, I'm not such a stranger
Here's the face you [D] cokies all ought to know
You [C] can tell me [Db] I'm not wanted
But the joints will still be haunted
[Fm] Cause I'm [Db] the ghost of [Gm] Smokey Jones
[C]
Remember when I [Fm] kicked the bucket
In my mansion [B] up on [Bb] Stryfer's Row
[D] When they came and took me [Db] off in a zillion dollar coffin
[Fm]
Cause [C] I'm the ghost of [Fm] Smokey Jones
Tell [F] me, do you remember Minnie?
Yeah, we remember Minnie
[D]
That [Bb] frill I never found
You [Eb] never recognized your Minnie
You mean to say that Minnie [Ab] quit kicking [G] the gum [C] around
I [Fm] got a date on my [D] estate down in Haiti
[Fm] Call my [D] chariot so I can go
And shoot the [Db] mooch you're walking
[Bb] Just tell her you've [Ab] been talking
[Fm] To the [Bbm] ghost of [C] Smokey Jones
[F]
Yes, I remember Minnie
[Bb] She's that frill I never found
You mean to say that Minnie [Ab] quit kicking [G] the gum [C] around
I [F] got a date [Fm] on my estate down in Haiti
[F] Call my [Bb] chariot [B] so I can go
[Fm] And shoot the mooch [Db] you're walking
[Bb] Just tell her you've been [E] talking
[Fm] To the [G] ghost of [C] Smokey
