This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

"Ghost"

Howie Day

Tabbed by: Mose

Email: cmoser@uiuc.edu

-Howie Day is a singer/songwriter type who uses really cool effects to accompany

his acoustic guitar...he also has a flock-of-seagulls haircut -www.howieday.com

I haven't seen any of howie day's songs tabbed out so I figured I'd post mine

Tuning: standard

Howie uses this loop effects machine to create the really high notes you hear

(I saw him play it once on Kilborn...)

The part I've tabbed is just the chords he plays while singing...

Verse/Chorus:

Strum C#min, A (power chord version), and E

Listen to the song for the rhythm

e|---0---0---0-----------------------------------------0---2-----------------|
B|---5---0---0-----------------------------------------2---0-----------------|
G|---6---6---2-----------------------------------------2---2-----------------|
D|---6---7---2-----towards the end of the verse--------2---2-----------------|
A|---4---7---1----he plays this variation of the E:----1---1-----------------|
E|-------5-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then the bridge goes:

"I just wanna taste love..."

e|---0---0---0---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---5---0---0---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---6---6---8---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---6---7---9---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---4---7---9---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------5---7---------------------------------------------------------------|

End on E

This is my first tab and I'm really proud of myself...
