Ghost Indigo Girls
GHOST (Emily Saliers) --------------------- [No capo; each chord is half a measure.] D/F[intro] D/FThere's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer D/FThe last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war D/FAnd I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen D/FYou come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams D(9)/FThe Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota D(9)/FAt a place that you could walk across with five steps down D(9)/FAnd I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart D(9)/FBut at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown D DAnd there's not enough room in this world for my pain D D/CSignals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain D DOf all my demon spirits I need you the most C(9) G6/B D(9)/F I'm in love with your ghost C(9) G6/B D(9)/F I'm in love with your ghost Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper And I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly And dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this close C(9) G6/B D(9)/F In love with your ghost C(9) G6/B D(9)/FOo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo C(9) G6/B D(9)/FOo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo Em7 Em7 A7sus A7 Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you D D/CPierced my spirit, but I can't touch you Bm Bm/A GCan you hear it, a cry to be free B7 B7 Em E Am C D D/C G/B D I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips As I burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feels To be weakened like Achilles, with you always at my heels And my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at most C(9) G6/B D(9)/FIn love with your ghost C(9) G6/B D(9)/FIn love with your ghost (shadowing my dreams) C(9) G6/B D(9)/FIn love with your ghost (ooooooooh) C(9) G6/B D(9)/FIn love with your ghost (ooooooooh) C(9) G/B D/F[instrumental: repeat and fade] CHORDS (just the non-standard ones): D/FD(9)/FDF Notes on some chords: If you don't want to play Dit doesn't sound much different. Same deal with GE9 (020102) for the same basic sound. Then you can just play G, not Gmaj13. Also, you can play F In the chorus, try playing the second half of D and Dthe third fret on the high E string. It matches the vocals that way. TAB: The picking pattern for the intro, first verse, and outro goes like this (note the continuous D note on the third fret of the B string): D/FE --------------------------------|--------------------------------| B ------3-------3-------3-------3-|------3-------3-------3-------3-| G --2-------2-------0-------0-----|--0-------0-------0-------0-----| D ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . For the rest of the song, where it goes D(9)/Flittle trickier (HINT: the thumb handles all the notes on the E, A, and D strings): D(9)/FE ------0---------------0---------|------0---------------0---------| B ----------3---------------3-----|----------3---------------3-----| G --2-----------2---0-----------0-|--0-----------0---0-----------0-| D ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| A --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .
