Strumming

There is no strumming pattern for this song yet. Create and get +5 IQ
This is a pretty easy song, you just have to get the strumming right.  But it isn't hard
to get.  Also, you have to have a capo on the second fret for this to sound right..that
is how it is played.  The other tab is totally wrong.
 
 
G     G
      Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
       G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
   G
The first moment that I met her
      C            G
I did not expect a specter
                                       D
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
            G
She looked into me so sweetly
       C                G
And we left the room discreetly
                           D             G
No one else could know the secret of our love
   G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
       G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
 
   G
Every morning I awoke
      C             G
And I see my little ghost
                                          D
Wond'rin' if it's really her that's lying there
          G
I lean to touch her and I whisper
        C               G
But not brave enough to kiss her
                      D              G
When I held her I was really holding air
 
   G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
       G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
 
  G
Though I try my best to keep it
      C             G
There really was no secret
           G (slowly strum up and down)      D
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
(no strumming)  G (              ) C ( ) G (   )
        No one else could see this apparition
(no strumming) C (         ) G (    )
        But because of my condition
(no strumming)    G                  D                  G...
        I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all
...G
Little ghost, little ghost
        C             G
One I'm scared of the most
                                    D
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
        G
I'm the only one that sees you,
      C                G
And I can't do much to please you
                         D              G
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
                         D              G C G D G
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above
 
 
( )-indicate that you should very softly strum up and down moderately fast
 
The tab is pretty straight forward.  All you have to do is find the right strumming
pattern and how fast to play the ( ) indicated parts.  But if you have any questions

Hey, good TAB nobody is a moron, its just a dif way of playing it, were he has the E from i dont know, but anyone with the least bit of knowledge can see that the G shape played 2 frets higher is a A. And anyone looking for the mandolin chords in the background are these: (Capo 2) G C D 3 0 2 2 3 0 0 2 0 0 X 2

If you're playing the mandolin here's the chords (no capo, watch the live vids on youtube, it's just easier to play without the capo on the mandolin) A D E 0 2 0 0 0 2 2 0 2 2 2 1 And the guitar is just like this tab, capo on 2 and all that.

I like this song alot, and this tab is perfect. it sounds better in open chords than power/barre chords, i think. And he probablywould play it in open chords. good tab.
