Standard (EADGBE)

That is basically how the piano plays the intro and possibly the rest of

the song. The lyrics without chords on top just go from Dm to Bb:

HELLO

i am the ghost of troubled joe hung by his pretty white neck

some eighteen months ago

i travelled to a mystical time zone but i missed my bed

so i soon came home, they said:

there is too much caffeine in your blood stream

and a lack of real spice in your life

i said:

leave me alone, because i~m alright, dad

just surprised to be on my own...

ooh, but don~t mention love

i~d hate the strain of the pain again

a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours

it has been before so i shall be again

and people who are uglier than you and i

they take what they need and leave

ooh, but don~t mention love

i~d hate the pain of the strain all over again

a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours

it has been before so why can~t it be now?

and people who are weaker than you and i

they take what they want from life

ooh, but don~t mention love

no, no- don~t mention love

a rush and a push and the land that we stand on is ours

your youth may be gone but you~re still a young man

so phone me, phone me, phone me

phone me, phone me, phone me

ooh, i think i~m in love...
