Chords

The studio version of this song is not in standard tuning. I figured out the chords using this live video: This live perfomance was played in G, while the studio version sounds somewhere between G and Ab to my ears. Putting a capo on the 1st fret gets you close, but it's still slightly off. [Legend] C : x32010 G : 320003 Bm : x24432 Em : 022000 D : xx0232 Am : x02210 [Verse 1]
          G     Bm
I hung my wolves

               C
up high in the pine trees

                G    Bm
Like cannonball sails

                   C
they wouldn't stay hung

                  G     Bm
And somewhere somebody's

             C
scarecrow is crying

                   G
How could I've not noticed

    Bm                  C
the hammers that did me in?
[Chorus]
Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am
When I needed you?

Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am         C
When I needed you?
[Verse 2]
          G    Bm
I came to drink

                  C
more whiskey than water

              G       Bm
Nailed up and confused

                  C
like a horse on a highway

              G
Come to me my lamb

     Bm             C
I'll wait in the magnolia

                 G      Bm
I've swallowed a phantom

                    C
and I forgot how to breathe
[Chorus]
Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am
When I needed you?

Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am
When I needed you?

Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am
When I needed you?

Em             G            D
Oh, where were you, my kind ghosts

       Am         D
When I needed you?

       Am         D
When I needed you?

       Am
When I needed you?
