I am proud to present the chords to the White Wives' "Hungry Ghosts." The chord
placements are a little tricky to place to around the lyrics, but I did my best.
Roger has said that they write all of their songs in D tuning, but this song works
just fine in standard. All we need is that lead guitar and we can have some fun. Enjoy.
Intro: E G#m C#m A
Verse 1:
You could [E]worry for your whole [G#m]life
Over [C#m]shit you can't un[A]write
You can [E]collect a plastic [G#m]pile
That is [C#m]all you'll leave be[A]hind
We re[E]flect, we reflect
When we [G#m]follow in the foot steps
[C#m] Of Situationists [A]gone
The [E]culture, destitute as [G#m]hell
In every [C#m]desert hides a [A]well
Chorus:
Oh, [C#m]well, oh [B]well
We can [G#m]only be ours[A]elves
[E] We [G#m]are, we [A]are the Hung[C#m]ry Ghosts[E]
We a[G#m]re, we [A]are the Hungr[C#m]y Ghosts
Intro: E G#m C#m A x2
Verse 2:
We re[E]flect, we reflect
In the [G#m]oil in the nouveau
[C#m] The soul in the soul s[A]ong
We diss[E]ect, we dissect
In the c[G#m]ollage of the dadaist
[C#m] The soul in the soul s[A]ong
Chorus:
Oh, [C#m]well, oh [B]well
We can [G#m]only be ours[A]elves
[E] We [G#m]are, we [A]are the Hun[C#m]gry Gh[E]osts
We a[G#m]re, we [A]are the Hung[C#m]ry Gh[E]osts
We are[G#m], we are, w[A]e are, we are[C#m]
[E] We [G#m]are, we [A]are the Hung[C#m]ry Ghosts
[C#m] [B] [A] The dharma in Hanshan
[C#m] [B] [A] The needle in the groove
[C#m] [B] [A] The soul in the soul song
[C#m] [B] [A] We carry on.
Bridge:
[E]
[E]
[E] We heed their adv[A]ice
[C#m] When we [B]listen to[A] ourselves
[E] We cut all our [A]ties
[C#m] When we [B]listen to[A] ourselves
[E] We sing our own [A]songs
[C#m] When we [B]listen to[A] ourselves
[E] [A] [C#m] [B] [A]
Chorus:
[E] We are, we are
[E] We [G#m]are, we [A]are the Hun[C#m]gry Gh[E]osts
We a[G#m]re, we [A]are the Hung[C#m]ry Gho[E]sts
We ar[G#m]e, we are, [A]we are, we ar[C#m]e
[C#m] [B] [A] The soul in the soul song
[C#m] [B] [A] The soul in the soul song
[C#m] [B] [A] The soul in the soul song
[C#m] [B] [A] We carry on
If you love the White Wives, please help me in tabbing the rest of their songs.
They are an amazing band and it's a shame that there aren't more songs on here. Thanks!
