Verse
-----
Bb6 Fadd9/6 Gm7
What tongueless ghost of a sin crept through my curtains
Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
I think he don’t got a name but I can’t be certain
And in me he starts to confide
Chorus
------
Bb6 Fadd9/6 Gm7
My family don’t seem so familiar
And my enemies all know my name
If you hear me tap on your window
C5
You better get on your knees and prey
D5
Panic is on the way!
Do the picky riff for a bit and then use 5th (power)
chords for the rest of the song.
Verse 2
-------
Bb5 C5 G5
My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost dancer
My eyes are dead and my throat’s like a black hole
And if there’s a god would he give another chancer
An hour too sing for his soul
Use the 5th chords above for the chorus except use F5 instead of C5.

Repeat again but only the first part of the riff.
Gem does this:

Riff 1:
Noel does this riff a bit after Gem does the part below
e------------------------------------------------------------------9-11b13~~-9--------|
B-----------9b11~r9-----9b11r9------------------------------11-9~~-------------11~~---|

E----------------------------------8--------------------------------------------------|
Gem and Noel switch on their DD-5 into reverse mode now so I’ll tab everything
as if it was played normally (understand? Good. I don’t)
e---------------------0/18vvvvvvvvv/0/6/18vvvvvvvvvvv-------------------|
B-----------9b11~~~~----------------------------------------------------|
G-8b10r8b10-------------------------------------------------------------|

Noel does... And Gem does....

G-6--7p6h10p6----------------8p6----------------------------------------|
D-------------8~~----------------8~~------------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A few times each
Then Noel goes nuts with his slide (impossible to tab, just put your DD-3 on and go nuts)
Gem also does random backwards noises which are similar to some of the above riffs.
Then after all that randomness Gem does Riff 1 while Noel does.....
