[G] [F] [C] [Am]
[E] [C]
I'm going to tell you a story about a little town I know.
That a real big problem [F] was a big, mean, local [C] ghost.
[G] So what made [F] the whole city of [C] Houston grow?
Well, the man was a bandit.
The town was a bandit, but they had no sense of fear.
Because the news they were getting [Cm] was those boys were vicious,
so they [C] called them Mother Action.
[G] They were a [F#] bunch of sad [F] trotters, they were seen [F#] through the [F#] jokes.
They were quiet and [F] they climbed down [F#] to their point,
[G] but the ghost [C#m] bunch just [F] came and they went and owned the [D#] town.
[C]
Yeah.
About five little boys came up and they'd seen a book for real.
And [F] they knew they'd been [Cm] in a right, but worse [C] over the real than the heck it would be.
[G] Yeah, the boys were real, [F] and they were staying [C] in the house one day to see it.
Well, the man, he started dancing around and the whole town started to roar.
And [F] in a city's town, [C] they lost all sly and they popped down and threw them all up.
They [G] were a bunch [F#] of mad trotters, [F] they were seen [F#] through the jokes.
[G] They were [F#] quiet and they [F] climbed down to [F#] their point,
but [F#] the ghost bunch just came [F] and they went and owned the [Cm] town.
[C]
And they knew [C#m] they'd been in a right, but worse over the
[Dm] heck it would [D] be.
Those [Gm] boys, they did [C] that?

[A] [C]
[G] [Em] [A] [C]
[G] [F] [C]
Ooh.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So happy now, everyone had a jolly boy.
[F] And if the boys [C] had come through the web, through the hoops,
you might as well be making [G] noise.
There [F#] was a box man trapped in there, shooting through [G] the joints.
[F#] He got right [F] in it and climbed down to his [G] point,
but the [F#] ghost bunch [F] just came and they went and owned the town.
