Th[D]ere's bound to be a ghost at the back of your cl[G]oset,[A]
[G] no mat[A]ter where you [D]live.
Th[D]ere'll always be a few things maybe sev[Em/D]eral things,
tha[G]t you're gonna find really diff[A]icult to forgi[D]ve.
[D] [G] [A] [G] [A] [D]
There's [D]gonna come a day when you'll feel [G]better,[A]
your [G]eyes are free and [A]easy on that [D]day.
You'll [D]float from branch to branch, ligh[Em/D]ter than the air,
just [G]when that day is coming, who can [A]say, who can say.
Our [D]mother has been [G]absent ever [D]since we founded [G]Rome,
but there's [D]gonna be a [A]party when the wolf comes [D]home.
[D] [G] [A] [G] [A] [D]
(Repeat Verse 2)
We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves,
to tell the neighbours what's been going on.
and they will shake their heads, and wag their bony fingers,
in all the wrong directions and by daybreak we'll be gone.
[D] [G] [A] [G] [A] [D]
(Repeat Verse 2)
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim
scope out every angle of unfair advantage
I'm gonna bribe the officials, I'm gonna kill all the judges,
it's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage,
(Repeat Chorus)
Our mother has been absent ever since we founded Rome,
but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home.
O[G]h![A] [D] [G] [A] [D] [G] [A] [D] [G] [A]
