Ghost Story - Coldplay
I wanted a simpler way to play this song, the current version 2 works fine a(except for
maybe the riff in
my opinion; and maybe a few lyrics :P ) I just wanted something I could play in standard tuning.
Please rate and comment!
Opening riff: play the chords and just use your pinky or index finger or whatever to hit
the riff notes, or play in with an added guitar part.

Intro- riff x2
[Verse]
D
Maybe I'm just a ghost
C
Disappear when anybody's close
G
Go through you when you try to hold
D
Try to hold me near
D
Maybe I'm just a ghost
C
Emptied by 'em, anybody knows
G
Maybe I'm on the ropes
D
Or I'm not even here
G D
Yeaaah
[Chorus]
D C G
Every time I try to walk through walls
D
More walls appear
C G
What's the point of feeling love for you
D
When you don't believe I'm here?
C G
What's the point of trying to raise your voice
D
If no one ever hears?
C G
Every time I try to pull you close
D
You disappear
-Opening riff- x2
[Verse]
D
Maybe I'm a ghost
C
Just a whisper in a puff of smoke
G
A secret that nobody knows
D
No one won't ever hear
D
Or maybe I'm a ghost
C
Specter on a rogue course
G
Thorn without out a rose
D
Something people fear
D G
Yeaaah
[Chorus]
D C G
And every time I thought I walked through walls
D
It's all become clear
C G
What's the point in feeling love for you
D
When you don't believe I'm here?
C G
What's the point of saying 'Rescue me!'
D
If no one ever hears?
C G
Every time I try to pull you close
D
You disappear
C G
Every time I try to pull you close
D
You disappear
-Opening riff- x4
