The Ghost Inside Broken Bells
Broken Bells: Ghost inside - Tabbed by Rich Weber
I had to tab this because I couldn't find one that was anywhere near accurate (sorry guys).
This one has the correct lyrics, as I hear them. Now they actually make sense.
This is a very deep song, and the other versions just caused the meaning to be lost.
Also, There was also some pretty serious problems with the chords in the other
versions which I fixed.
The others had a 4 chord progression that was the same over and over which is incorrect.
It's actually a 3 chord progression that alternates back and forth.
This is my interpretation of this song, and is not inteded to represent official
notation of the song as performed by Broken Bells. This Tab is for research and
personal growth as a guitarist only.
Here we go.
Standard Tuning
Capo 5 or 7 - I think this sounds best at 5, because of the key I sing in. But
have played it at 7 and it still sounds great.
However, if really you want it to sound great, play it on a uke.
Chords:
A XX2220
Am XX2230
D XX0232
G 320033
Em 0220XX
