B7 C#m G#m D#m The Edison Museum, not open to the public B7 C#m G#m D#m Its haunted towers rise into the clouds above it G#m C#m Folks drive in from out of town D#m G#m To gaze in amazement when they see it B E B E Just outside the gate I look into the courtyard B E B E Underneath the gathering thunderstorm B E B E Through the iron bars, I see the Black Mariah B E D#m G#m Revolving slowly on its platform F# B C#m D#m G#m In the topmost tower, a light burns dim F# B C#m D#m G#m A coiling filament glowing within B7 C#m G#m D#m The Edison Museum, once a bustling factory B7 C#m G#m D#m Today is but a darkened, cobweb covered hive of industry G#m C#m The tallest, widest and most famous D#m G#m Haunted mansion in New Jersey B E B E Behind a wooden door, the voice of Thomas Alva B E B E Recites a poem on a phonograph B E B E Ghosts float up the stair, like silent moving pictures B E D#m G#m The loyal phantoms of his in-house staff F# B C#m D#m G#m A wondrous place it is, there can be no doubt F# B C#m D#m G#m But no one ever goes in, and no one ever goes out B7 C#m G#m D#m So when your children quarrel and nothing seems to quell them B7 C#m G#m D#m Tell them that you'll take them to the Edison Museum G#m C#m The largest independently owned D#m G#m And operated mausoleum
