Biography:
Heartless Bastards is an American garage rock band formed in Ohio in 2003.
The bands' story starts in Dayton, Ohio, where Wennerstrom found the name on a multiple choice video trivia game at a bar.
As a songwriting teenager during a time when Guided by Voices and Brainiac were packing local bars and three of the Breeders were still in town, Wennerstrom used to sneak into clubs to check out the scene. "I would just see those people—my music heroes—hanging out at the bar like everyone else," she remembers.

Not sure which voicing combinations they use, mix to taste i guess.
In terms of strumming pattern sixteenth notes with emphasis on 2 and 4 maybe, sounds close enough, if your
ear tells you differently do that. Alternate stroke patterns down and up, don't slam down strokes for each beat.

While thinking about the melody/lyrics matching up with the chords, I have capitalized the words i believe come
with the new chord and placed them directly under the Chord letter. Listen to the song to get the exact rhythm
of the melody.
Beginning, no vocals:
E B A B repeatX4
VERSE(SECOND VERSE)-
E B A B
Hotel rooms and Highway signs And other books to Pass the time
(Long the way we Hit some bumps got Cuts and bruises On our hearts) always(pickup to E)
E B A B
Empty cans and Bottles lying This room is almost Like a shrine
(Knowing where we Wanna go but we Still get lost in Every part
E B A B
To an idea And a place We've all been looking For been(pickup to E)
(Nothings ever Easy, Easy for Me
E B A B
Searching now for-Ever and its Right behind the Door and(pickup to E)
(Thats the way its Always been The way it seems to Me) and(pickup to E)
CHORUS-
E B A B
Now I been Search-ing Searching for the Ghost
E B A B
I saw an appa-Rition once a Long long time a Go been(pickup to E)
E B A B
Searching now for-Ever and I Found it here to-Day
