G             D    C         G                D C G
if you hear a step upon your stair tonight
             D     C       G              D C
If you see a shadow in the candle light
                D          G            C
It's only your imagination leading you astray
              D                  Em
See her for a moment then she'll slip away
    C                     G   D C
The ghost of Charlotte Corday

    G                D      C     G                  D C
She wanders down the hallway in a long black dress
    G              D         C      G               D C
And lingers by the fireplace like a faint caress
                     D                  G             C
Just what it is that brings her here no man alive can say
              D               Em
See her for a moment then she melts away
    C                  G
The ghost of Charlotte Corday

Eb                  F
Stars in the window like a panoply
Eb                   F
Covering everything, river of night
Eb
Stars in the window
F                    Eb           F
See them shining for anyone else, anyone else

    G                  D        C       G               D C
The clock ticks in the dark and now the night is still
    G             D      C      G               D C
The air is like a murmur on the window sill
                    D                  G            C
All at once there's someone there that only you can see
            D                     Em
Seeking the forgiveness that will set her free
    C              G
The wind has taken away
    C                   G
The words she wanted to say
    C                  G
The sky is now turning gray
    C               G
The dawn is turning away
    C                     G
The ghost of Charlotte Corday.
