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
Intro: Em G D x2 - finger pick or arpeggiate
EmShe sold her love to a Gmodern Dman
EmCause solid currency's the Ahardest to Dlove
EmAll of that money helps you Gcover your Deyes
EmDon't let the lady finger Ablow in your Dhand
Did it Emall
Chorus:
For that GDollDar Em
She's a star AtoniDght Em
Without GwarniDng
She gave Emup the ghost AinsDide
EmJust like a whiskey bottle Gdrained on the Dfloor
EmShe got no future, just a Alove to Dendure
EmThis good samaritan Gshakin her Dhand
EmToo late to leave him now, the Asun's in her Dbed
Give it Emup
Chorus:
For that GDollDar Em
She's a star AtoniDght Em
Without GwarniDng
She gave Emup the ghost AinsDide
Em You call it chivalry
GNever pull a Dpunch for free
Em You ever wonder why they Ahad to move Don - on
Em This phony honor code
G That puts you Don your throne
Em A double standard
You inAvoke when you Dwant - want
Chorus:
For that GDollDar Em
She's a star AtoniDght Em
Without GwarniDng
She gave Emup the ghost AinsDide
Bridge: finger picked or arpeggiated
EmWas it all for show
AmDon't turn into Done of them
EmTurn another page
AmTrust me darlin
DI'm carving them up
through the dust in your Emtown
AmCrawling over rubbleD
EmJust to sort it out
AmNow I tend to wonder why
End with:
Em G D
Em A D
