Ghost Mice is a two-piece folk-punk band that hails from Bloomington, IN. Ghost Mice was created from the ashes of former pop-punk bands The Devil is Electric and Operation: Cliff Clavin. Chris Johnston (aka Chris Clavin) and Hannah who played guitar and bass respectively for OP:CC and TDIE, decided to make their act acoustic so they could tour more easily and play almost anywhere. In their own words: "We play 100% acoustic.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's another simple one, using only three repeating chords for the whole song. In this country, the duo
decides to make a change in their diet and eat some thinly-slide potato wedges that have been cooked in
hot oil, a staple food apparently referred to as "fries."
CHORDS USED:
C
G
D
GHOST MICE: EUROPE
"Italy"
G D
So there we were in the heart
C G
Where everything that we know got its start
C D
Then it all fell apart
G C
Well I guess that's what you get
C D G
When you spread yourself too thin
G D
But we had bigger fish to fry
C G
Like findin' a place to sleep at night
C D
I bought a slice of pizza
G C
Just to try and kill some time
C D G
And for a minute everything was fine
G D
We had a number in our notebook
C G
But it was way too late to call
C D
It was well after midnight
G C
When our train passed through the city walls
C D G
We didn't know this girl at all
G D
So we got out our travel book
C G
To read about the neighborhood
C D
Said it wasn't very good
G C
But it felt alright to me
C D G
All I wanted to do was go to sleep
G D
So we walked around the corner
C G
And we found a cheap motel
G D
We knew we couldn't afford it
C G
But we said, "Oh well"
C G
When you've been on the train all day
C G
In a big city in a new country
C G
You're real tired and it's late
C G
Sometimes it's better just to pay
D
That's the way it goes
D
Sometimes you know
D
It'd be okay
D C D G
And after all we were in Rome
G D
Well it had been a long time
C G
Since we had slept inside
C D
We woke up late the next day
G C
And the sun was shining bright
C D G
We paid our bill, we cried, we went outside
G D
Now they got their bread and circus
C G
And I guess so do we
C D
But they got theirs for free
G C
I think that we're bein' ripped off
C D G
We must destroy all empires at any cost
G D
When you're standin' in a temple
C G
Of a long-gone God it seems so simple
C D G C
Everybody dies, no matter who you are
C D G
From far enough away our sun is just another star
G D
And the statue of Moses that we saw
C G
Had horns on his head and was eight feet tall
C D
Maybe that was the case,
G C
No it's not our place to say
C D G
Maybe some things just don't translate
G D
We called up this girl
C G
Who had ordered a CD
C G
She was the first from Italy
D G
And we asked for hospitality
C G C G
She said we could stay at her parents' place
C G
They were so sweet to us
C G
It was so nice to meet a punk
D
She took good care of you and me
D
She bought us soy ice cream
D
Her mom cooked dinner every night
C D G
It was so hard for us to leave
G D
And the stray dogs of Pompey
C G
Were our guides that day
C
They became our friends,
D
We were a lot like them
G C
They taught us many things
C D G
And all they wanted was some food for their pay
G D
Then we went to the coast
C G
Where the roads are wound so close
C D
And the buses bounce from side-to-side
G C
We thought that we might die
C D G
We couldn't find a place to sleep at all that night
G D
The city filled with scooters
C G
Held so many mysteries
G D
I saw the weirdest thing there
C G
That I think I'll ever see
C G
It was a pizza topped with octopus,
C G
A whole arm on each slice
C G
But I got my dinner there
C G
It was a pizza topped with fries
D
And Italy was nice
D
Made us feel right at home
D
Our money's in the fountain
C D G
And we will return to Rome
