Anyone's Ghost Lyrics
by The National
The tabs I've seen here haven't been 100 % correct. They've had some of the chords
right but Aaron and Bryce plays them in different positions and voicings.
Don't exactly know what to call the 4th chord but naming it B flat minor with a C#
just for the sake of it. Sounds like a suspended chord.
And I don't think they play the high E in the Abm actually but I like to
sometimes, do what you prefer.
Chords used:
Ebm: X643XX (X6887X) Bryce plays that shape during the bridge, I like to change between the two.
B: 7644XX
Abm: 466444
BbC#:6X46XX (The 4 on the A string is muted by the ring finger, that's why I X'd it)
F#: 244322
C#m: X46654
Verse 1:
Say you stay at home, alone with the flu
Find out from friends that wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
Play Ebm into the next verse.
Verse 2:
You said I came close as anyone's come
to live underwater for more than a month
You said it was not inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else, I don't want anybody else
Bridge: I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry
Chorus:
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost, didn't want to be anyone's ghost
