Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 and if i die today i'll be the happy phantom

 and i'll go chasin the nuns out in the yard

 and i'll run naked through the streets without my mask on

  and i will never need umbrellas in the rain

  i'll wake up in strawberry fields every day

  and the atrocities of school i can forgive

  the happy phantom has no right to bitch

  oo hoo the time is getting closer

  oo hoo time to be a ghost

  oo hoo every day we're getting closer

  sun is getting dim

  will we pay for who we been?

  yeah

 so if i die today i'll be the happy phantom

 and i'll go wearing my naughties like a jewel

 they'll be my ticket to the universal opera

  there's judy garland taking buddha by the hand

  and then these seven little men get up to dance

  they say confucius does his crossword with a pen

  i'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin

  oo hoo the time is getting closer

  oo hoo time to be a ghost

  oo hoo every day we're getting closer

  sun is getting dim

  will i pay for who i been?

  yeah

Solo

 or will i see you dear and wish i could come back?

 you found a girl that you could truly love again;

 will you still call for me when she falls asleep?

 or do we soon forget the things we cannot see?

  oo hoo the time is getting closer

  oo hoo time to be a ghost

  oo hoo every day we're getting closer

  sun is getting dim

  will i pay for who i been?

  yeah

Outro solo

  and if i die today

of note: of course, this is a piano song, so this is, at best,

a bad hack transcription. the F7 isn't the usual F-flatted 7th that

you might see ( 0 3 3 2 1 0 ) so be careful with that.

i play the intro Bb by hitting the three higher strings first, then the

root, like this:

b| 3 3 3 /4 1

G| 3 3 4 /5 2

D| 3 3 5 /6 3

A| 1 5 /6 3

E| 1 3 /4 1

(altho the song doesn't have that low F (E string, first fret,) i play it

in unison with the Bb to make it sound thicker.)
