_ [G] _ _ [C] There's a creepy [Ab] _
[G] melody _ [Cm] Like [G] a fiend that [Ab] keeps haunting [G] me
All night long [Ab] it [G] rambles on through [Cm] my brain
_ Well I'm nearing [G] safe [Cm] It's the most [Ab]
peculiar [G] tune
[Ab] Like [G] some old [Ab] colored [G] mammoth's throat I can't seem [Ab] to leave [G] behind [Cm] that haunting _ [G] refrain
_ _ [C] It's the ghost _ _ of the St.
[Bb] Louis blues _ _ [A] _
_ _ [C] Oh it follows [Ab] _ [C] me around like [G] a thief in [C] a dark heart
[Ab]
Hear [G] it now, [C] it's the ghost _ _ of the St.
[Bb] Louis _ blues
[A] _
_ _ [C] Loud that [Ab] haunting [G] strain It's just like a piece [C] of bad _ news _
[G] When [Cm] midnight shadows creep I hear the [G] ghostly music moan _
It means the end of sleep To hear a [Ab] thousand _ _ saxophones [G] sobbing [C] groan
I hate to see [F] that evening [D] sun go [C] down _ _ I _ hate to see that evening sun [C] go down
_ _ _ [G] Oh that gal I love she done left [C] this town _
_ [G] _ That's [C] the tune _ _ that I never [Bb] can _ lose
[A] _
_ _ [C] For it's [Ab] everywhere [C] The ghost of the [G] St.
Louis [C] blues _ _ _ _
