The House Is Haunted (By the Echo of Your Last Goodbye)
Words & Music by Billy Rose & Basil Adlam, 1934
Recorded by Mel Torme, 1958
Em Bm7-5 Em B+ Am7 B7 Am7 Em G Am7 B7
The house is haunted by the echo of your last good - bye;
Em Bm7-5 Em B+ Am7 B7 Am7 Em G Am7 B7 Em E7
The house is haunted by the mem'ries that refuse to die.
Am AM7/9 Am7 Cdim
I can't get a - way from a vision that brings
B7 Em Am7 Cdim
Intimate glimpses of intimate things
B7 Am7 B7 Em
A voice in my heart like a torch singer sings --
C Am7 B7
I wonder who's kissing her now?
Em Bm7-5 Em B+ Am7 B7 Am7 Em Gdim Am7 B7
The house is haunted by the echo of your fav' - rite song;
E7 Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7 Cdim Am
The place is cluttered up with mem'ries that have lived too long,
Cdim Bm7-5 Cdim
Much too long.
Em B7 B+ E7
The ceiling is white, but the shadows are black,
Am E7 Cdim Am7
The ghost in my heart says she'll never come back --
Em Bm7-5 Em B+ Am7 B7 Am7 Em
The house is haunted by the echo of your last good - bye.
(Instrumental Interlude: first two lines of second verse)
Am7 B7 Am7 Cdim Am7 B7
I'll never forget you, I'll never forget you.
Em Bm7-5 Em B+ Am7 B7 Am7 Em
The house is haunted by the echo of your last good - bye.
