Biography:
Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos on 22 August 1963 in Newton, North Carolina, United States) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, the youngest person ever to have been admitted, at age five. She was expelled at age eleven for, in her own words, insisting on playing by ear and because of her interest in popular rock music.

happy phantom by tori amos from her album little earthquakes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------
intro: Bb G Ab F
Bb G Ab F
and if i die today i'll be the happy phantom
Bb G Ab F
and i'll go chasin the nuns out in the yard
Bb G Ab F
and i'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
Gb Ab Eb
and i will never need umbrellas in the rain
Gb Ab Eb
i'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
Gb Ab Eb
and the atrocities of school i can forgive
Gb Ab Eb
the happy phantom has no right to bitch
Bb Eb
oo hoo the time is getting closer
Bb Eb
oo hoo time to be a ghost
Bb Eb
oo hoo every day we're getting closer
Ebm Bb/D C
sun is getting dim
F Ebm F
will we pay for who we been?
F7
yeah
Bb G Ab F
so if i die today i'll be the happy phantom
Bb G Ab F
and i'll go wearing my naughties like a jewel
Bb G Ab F
they'll be my ticket to the universal opera
Gb Ab Eb
there's judy garland taking buddha by the hand
Gb Ab Eb
and then these seven little men get up to dance
Gb Ab Eb
they say confucius does his crossword with a pen
Gb Ab Eb
i'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin
Bb Eb
oo hoo the time is getting closer
Bb Eb
oo hoo time to be a ghost
Bb Eb
oo hoo every day we're getting closer
Ebm Bb/D C
sun is getting dim
F Ebm F
will i pay for who i been?
F7
yeah
solo: G Em7 | F C
G Em7 | F D
G Em7 | F C
Eb F C
or will i see you dear and wish i could come back?
Eb F C
you found a girl that you could truly love again;
Eb F C
will you still call for me when she falls asleep?
Eb Ab Eb
or do we soon forget the things we cannot see?
Bb Eb
oo hoo the time is getting closer
Bb Eb
oo hoo time to be a ghost
Bb Eb
oo hoo every day we're getting closer
Ebm Bb/D C
sun is getting dim
F Ebm F
will i pay for who i been?
F7
yeah
outro solo: Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
Bb Gm7 | Ab F9sus4
and if i die today
Bb: x 1 3 3 3 1
Gm7: 3 5 3 3 3 3
Ab: 4 6 6 5 4 4
F9sus4: 1 3 1 3 1 3
Bb/D: x 5 3 3 6 x
F: 1 3 3 2 1 1
F7: 1 3 1 2 1 1
Em7: 0 2 2 0 3 0
D: x x 0 2 3 2
C: x 3 2 0 1 0
Eb: x 6 8 8 8 x
Em: x x 2 4 5 3
G: 3 2 0 0 0 3
of note: of course, this is a piano song, so this is, at best,
a bad hack transcription. the F7 isn't the usual F-flatted 7th that
you might see ( 0 3 3 2 1 0 ) so be careful with that.
i play the intro Bb by hitting the three higher strings first, then the
root, like this:
E| 1
b| 3 3 3 /4 1
G| 3 3 4 /5 2
D| 3 3 5 /6 3
A| 1 5 /6 3
E| 1 3 /4 1
(altho the song doesn't have that low F (E string, first fret,) i play it
in unison with the Bb to make it sound thicker.)
-D.
