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
Em G D
She sold her love to a modern man
Em A D
Cause solid currency's the hardest to love
Em G D
All of that money helps you cover your eyes
Em A D
Don't let the lady finger blow in your hand
Em
Did it all
Chorus:
G D Em
For that Dollar
A D Em
She's a star tonight
G D
Without warning
Em A D
She gave up the ghost inside
Em G D
Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
Em A D
She got no future, just a love to endure
Em G D
This good samaritan shakin her hand
Em A D
Too late to leave him now, the sun's in her bed
Em
Give it up
Chorus:
G D Em
For that Dollar
A D Em
She's a star tonight
G D
Without warning
Em A D
She gave up the ghost inside
Em
You call it chivalry
G D
Never pull a punch for free
Em A D
You ever wonder why they had to move on - on
Em
This phony honor code
G D
That puts you on your throne
Em
A double standard
A D
You invoke when you want - want
Chorus:
G D Em
For that Dollar
A D Em
She's a star tonight
G D
Without warning
Em A D
She gave up the ghost inside
Bridge: finger picked or arpeggiated
Em
Was it all for show
Am D
Don't turn into one of them
Em
Turn another page
Am
Trust me darlin
D
I'm carving them up
Em
through the dust in your town
Am D
Crawling over rubble
Em
Just to sort it out
Am
Now I tend to wonder why
End with:
Em G D
