~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------
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
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
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.)
