Verse 1
Am 
I'm the phantom,
C 
Am 
C 
the phantom of the Opry
F 
I've been here since seventy -five
C 
G 
C 
Down in the basement
Am 
of this old Opry house
F 
C 
Is where I choose to reside
Am 
Seventy -five was the time
G 
my kind of style began to slide
F 
Really started taking a dive
C 
Since that year I've been
Am 
living down here
F 
C 
Shut away from the world outside
Am 
They haven't had a show upstairs
E 
Am 
Since 1974
But now that they started making noise again
E 
I heard them poking around
Am 
the upper floor
F 
Some snoopy kid,
oh I know he's on a skit,
C 
Am 
could discover my secret life
F 
C 
Cause I'm the Phantom of the Opera,
F 
G 
and folks are scared to come
C 
Am 
around here at night
C 
I'm the phantom of the opera
F 
I don't listen to the bugs and the mice
C 
The only sounds that I hear
Am 
is the music sweet and clear
F 
The way they played it here
C 
on Saturday nights
Am 
Was it that long ago
G 
I played my first Opry show
F 
Hung around with Hank Snow and the like
C 
Am 
Now I'm a  phantom of this Opry
F 
C 
G 
C 
Like some ghost from another life
Am 
Last night I had a dream
C 
they discovered me
F 
C 
Just like some episode from Scooby -Doo
G 
C 
I said if it wasn't
Am 
for those meddling kids
and their dogs, why,
F 
I'd have probably gotten
C 
away with it too
Am 
And I awoke from the dream
G 
and things just weren't
what they seemed
F 
It's just some scene
that I created in my mind
C 
Am 
Am I the Phantom or the Opry?
F 
C 
Just a  relic from another time
Am 
C 
Am I   the phantom of the opera
F 
G 
Am 
Has it been such a long, long time? you
