Ghosts

this is the song is amazing : ) and when i was starting to learn to play , i was
having trouble using the tabs on this web site . so i made my own

ghost by laura marling ( alas i cannot swim )

all you have to do is repeat Em then G over and over in the verses and the
chorus . i just do top then bottom plucking throughout most of the song , then strum
the last two chorus’ and pluck in the outro .

intro – Em G Em G Em G Em G
Em G
he walked down a busy street
Em
staring solely at his feet
G
clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Em G
stood at the table where she sat
Em
and removed his hat
G
in respect of her presence
Em G
presents her with the pictures and says
Em G
these are just ghosts that broke my heart before i met you
Em G
these are just ghosts that broke my heart before i met you

Em G
opened up his little heart
Em
unlocked the lock that kept it dark

G
and read a written warning
Em
saying im still mourning

over ghosts
G
over ghosts

over ghosts
Em G
over ghosts that broke my heart before i met you

( single strum this . )
Em G
lover , please do not
Em G
fall to your knees its not
Em G
like i believe in
Em G
everlasting love

he’d went crazy at nineteen
said hed lost all his self esteem
and couldnt understand why he was cry , cry , crying , cryyiiing . . .

he would stare at empty chairs
think of the ghosts who once sat there
the ghosts that broke his heart .
oh the ghosts that broke my heart
the ghosts that broke his heart
oh the ghosts that broke my heart

F C

Em G
