I am proud to present the chords to the White Wives' "Hungry Ghosts." The chord
placements are a little tricky to place to around the lyrics, but I did my best.
Roger has said that they write all of their songs in D tuning, but this song works
just fine in standard. All we need is that lead guitar and we can have some fun. Enjoy.

They are an amazing band and it's a shame that there aren't more songs on here. Thanks!
