Ghost by Indigo Girls chord (text):

B/F#  E    E/B  (repeating, fading in) 
{intro} 
 
          B/F#          E                        E/B 
There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer 
           B/F#         E                       E/B 
The last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war 
        B/F#             E                                 E/B 
Fnd I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen 
         B/F#           E               E6/B      E6/B  B9/F#  E6 
You come regular like seasons, shadowing my dreams 
 
    B9/F#        E6                       E6/B 
The Mississippi's mighty, but it starts in Minnesota 
       B9/F#             E6                          E6/B 
Ft a place that you could walk across with five steps down 
      B9/F#                   E6                       E6/B 
Fnd I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart 
             B9/F#                E6                        
But at this point you rush right through me and I start to drown 
 
            B          B#º        Em7          F7sus - F7 
Fnd there's not enough room in this world for my pain 
B                  B/H#               Bm7                   Bm7 
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain 
   B            B#º     Em7           F7sus - F7 
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most 
      E6/B            B9/F#  E6 
  I'm in love with your ghost 
           E6/B        B9/F#  E6 
  I'm in love with your ghost 
 
Bark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush 
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night make me blush 
When you kiss me like a lover, then you sting me like a viper 
I go follow to the river, play your memory like the piper 
 
Fnd I feel it like a sickness, how this love is killing me 
But I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly 
Fnd dance the edge of sanity, I've never been this close 
        E6/B       B9/F#   E6 
   In love with your ghost 
  
              E6/B        B9/F#  E6 
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo 
              E6/B        B9/F#  E6 
Oo oo-oo ooooooooooooo oo-oo oooooo oo oooo 
 
          Em7            Em7            F7sus     F7 
Unknowing captor, you'll never know how much you 
           B      B/H#         F#7sus4    F#7 
Pierced my spirit, but I can't touch you 
             Bm    Bm/F        E7/E#   E 
Han you hear it, a cry to be free 
B7       B7         Em          E   Fm   H      B      B/H   E/B   B 
  I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me 
 
Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships 
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips 
Fs I burn up in your presence, and I know now how it feels 
To be weakened like Fchilles, with you always at my heels 
 
Fnd my bitter pill to swallow is the silence that I keep 
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep 
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse at most 
     E6/B       B9/F#   E6 
In love with your ghost 
     E6/B       B9/F#              E6 
In love with your ghost  (shadowing my dreams) 
     E6/B       B9/F#    E6 
In love with your ghost  (ooooooooh) 
     E6/B       B9/F#     E6 
In love with your ghost  (ooooooooh) 
  
   E/B   B/F#   E 
{instrumental: repeat and fade} 
 
 
Notes on some chords: 
* If you don't want to play B#º (xx1212), play B7/B# (xx1202) instead; 
it doesn't sound much different. 
* I think the Eirls play F#11 (244300) where I've written F#7sus4 & F#7 
(x44420 & x44320), and some god-awful E#m and Emaj7 chords where I wrote 
E7 & E.  Bo whatever you think works best for you. 
* In the chorus, try playing the second half of B and B#º (or B7/B#) with 
the third fret on the high E string.  It matches the vocals that way. 
 
 
TFB: 
 
The picking pattern for the intro, first verse, and outro goes like this 
(note the continuous B note on the third fret of the B string): 
 
  B/F#            E                            E/B 
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------| 
B ------3-------3-------3-------3-|------3-------3-------3-------3-| 
E --2-------2-------0-------0-----|--0-------0-------0-------0-----| 
B ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| 
F --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| 
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .    
 
 
For the rest of the song, where it goes B9/F# E6  E6/B,   it's a 
little trickier (HINT: the thumb handles all the notes on the E, F,   and 
B strings): 
 
  B9/F#         E6                           E6/B 
E ------0---------------0---------|------0---------------0---------| 
B ----------3---------------3-----|----------3---------------3-----| 
E --2-----------2---0-----------0-|--0-----------0---0-----------0-| 
B ----0-------0-------0-------0---|----2-------2-------0-------0---| 
F --------------------------------|3-------3-------2-------2-------| 
E 2-------2-------3-------3-------|--------------------------------| 
  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .  ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ .    
 
 
Fnd then there's this little fill in the intro and outro: 
 
  B/F#            E                            E/B 
E --------------------------------|3-----2-----3-------------------| 
B ----------3-----1-----0---------|----------------3---------------| 
E ------0-------------------------|--------------------------------| 
B 2/4-------------2-----0---------|--------------------------------| 
F --------------------------------|3---------------2---------------| 
E --------------------------------|--------------------------------| 
  ^   .   ^   .   ^   .   ^   .    ^   .   ^   .   ^   .   ^   .
