Ghost Mice is a two-piece folk-punk band that hails from Bloomington, IN. Ghost Mice was created from the ashes of former pop-punk bands The Devil is Electric and Operation: Cliff Clavin. Chris Johnston (aka Chris Clavin) and Hannah who played guitar and bass respectively for OP:CC and TDIE, decided to make their act acoustic so they could tour more easily and play almost anywhere. In their own words: "We play 100% acoustic.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This second song is incredibly easy, since it's literally just G - D - C - G
for the entire song and then D - G at the end of each few verses.
That being said, I personally always find it obnoxious whenever
a guitar tab is literally just the lyrics with a few chords at the top though,
so for the sake of not having put one of THOSE tabs on the site, I'll map
it all out here.
CHORDS USED:
C
G
D
GHOST MICE: EUROPE
"English Channel"
G
We turned around, we were headin' south
D
We were tryin' to get off the island
C
Wishin' for a sky without any clouds
G
With a big nice bright sun shinin'
G
We found a spot in a soggy swamp
D
And set up our tiny tent
C
Our feet were wet again
G
But we were gettin' used to it
D G
Our feet were always wet
G
A man drove by in a silver car
D
With a mean look on his face
C
He looked at us in the rear-view
G
And then he hit the breaks
G
We walked up to the open window
D
Not knowin' what to think
C
But he wanted to know where we were goin'
G
And see if it was on his way
G
We told him we were goin' to Dover
D
And hopefully over to France that night
C
He said, "So am I, hop in
G
And I'll give you a ride"
D G
And we were on our way
G
He said he stopped to pick us up
D
Because we looked so out of luck
C
He was havin' a bad day too
G
But he thought we had him beat
G
It was his philosophy that if you see
D
Someone in a worse way than you
C
It's your ethical obligation
G
To stop and see what you can do
D G
I wish everyone thought that too
G
He asked if we had our tickets
D
And when our boat would leave
C
We confessed we didn't know that yet
G
And we'd get there then we'd see
G
He said, "You should just ride with me
D
Because passengers ride free
C
It takes a couple of hours
G
And I could use the company"
D G
So could we, so could we
G
But he was goin' to Belgium
D
And we were goin' to France
C
But we decided to change our plans
G
'Cause you don't pass up a chance like that
G
We got there late and he was pissed
D
That he missed the hovercraft
C
If he'd have to take the slow boat
G
Then he would ride first class
D G
Our bad luck was gone at last
G
We got to the lonely lobby
D
And we filled our packs with snacks
C
They were free, those pastries
G
And those drinks would weight our backs
G
He could see our hesitation
D
We were concerned about bein' rude
C
He said, "Take as much as you can hold, kids
G
I was once like you
D G
I have been there too"
G
We got aboard the ferry
D
And they took us to our seats
C
Which were basically in a nice restaurant
G
And it looked like we were gonna get to eat
G
They brought us priceless menus
D
And they brought us more drinks
C
We were the only dirty kids there
G
With our big backpacks and stinky feet
G
So we ate our three-course meal
D
And talked to our new-found friend
C
We told him about the music we played
G
He was an electrician
G
He asked where we planned to sleep that night
D
We said we had no clue
C
He said, "I'll drop you off by the side of the road
G
That's what I used to do
D G
I was once like you"
