Tonart: Eb major
Verse 1
the Glasgow poet Edwin Morgan paid tribute to
the memory of Matt McGinn,
Gm
a merry man with a tinge of bitter melancholy,
a minstrel who helped us to
see the changing figures
in life's pageant.
G
Gm
And though the book of Matt's life
is now closed,
his songs continue to illuminate
the shadow show.
Stramash would like now
to introduce you
acters from Matt's cast.
Gm
And we'll begin with the
G
most shadowy of them all.
No, a deed man seldom walks.
G
C
It's no very often
you'll see him running around.
But I am a refugee,
free of graveyard and dundee,
G
And I've come to haunt some hooses
in Glasgow Toon.
I've come to haunt some hooses
in Glasgow Toon

C
Now the reason I arose,
C#m
was to get myself some clothes
For it really gets hell
of a cold below the ground
And I whispered to myself,
ach I think I might as well
Hang around for a while
and haze some fun
I'll hang around for a
while and have some fun
Now a chap put out his light
on a cold and frosty night
I showed him one of my eyes
and I skelped his head
He says, oh, and I says, boo
He says, who the hell are you?
I says, don't be feared,
I'm only a man that's dead
F#m
C#m
Oh no, don't be feared,
G
I'm only a man that's dead
C#m
Well, the fella knelt and prayed,
and this is what he said,
Why in the name of God
have ye pecked on me?
So I battered him on the lug,
and I pulled away his rug,
D
C#m
The reason I says is just to let ye see,
A
C#m
The reas on I says is just to let ye see.
Well, he brought the polis in,
and I belted him on the chin.
The polis turned around
and he blamed my friend.
And he marched him off the jail,
G
C#m
and he'll be in there quite a while.
D
But I'll see naebody taxi single, and, oh no,
C#m
D
I'll see naebody taxi single, and.
C#m
Noo, the police thought him daft,
F#m
D
and a lot of people laughed
ghost was in his hoose
D
But what the fella said was true,
C
and I might be visiting you
D
D
I'm still on the loose
