[Intro]AEDAE[Verse 1]F#mEAD
This is where I make my stand
A
In the corner of the hotel room
E
with a receiver in one hand
F#mEAD
Holdin' on to the waning sound
A
Of a crackled voice on a dodgy line
E
With a stomach full of ****-cheap wine
D
There's one last drink
to sink with you
E
Before these ******* want me through
[Verse 2]D
I haven't been the best of men
F#m
Morality is an evolving thing
A
I can blame the times,
I can blame the weeks
E
I can blame the things
that we saw as kids
D
I'm a waster darling,
and I'll tell it straight
A
With all my failures on a plate
E
She picks at them and doesn't chew
DD
And spits them out for me to view

This place is full of poltergeists
And tonight I'll join
AED
them when I die

How to play Poltergeists: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Poltergeists by Sam Fender on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
Poltergeists by Sam Fender is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 4 chords: A, E, D and F#m.
The backbone of the song is A – E – D – A (I – V – IV – I in A major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
