Listen to song for rhythem

G
He was smiling through his own personal hell
C
Dropped his last dime in a wishing well
G                                               D
But he was hoping to close and then he fell
D              C                  G
Now he's Casper    the Friendly Ghost

G
He was always polite to the people who'd tell him
C                                      G
That he was nothing but a lazy bum, but
G                              D
Goodbye to them he had to go
D              C                   G
Now he's Casper     the Friendly Ghost

G
Nobody treated him nice while he was alive
  C                                                  G
You can't buy no respect like the librarian said, but
G                                D
Everybody respects the dead, they
    C                G     D
Love    a friendly ghost

G
And now they say we'll never forget what he learned
C
As we were mean to him but he never burned
G
Just singing, "love lives forever!"
      D       C                   G
Thanks to you,     the Friendly Ghost
