Ghost Of A Boy Uke tab by Quinn Isaac

CAPO FIRST FRET

          Am         F
there's a body in my closet
     C               Bb
it's hanging with my sweaters
      Am               F
put a chain around its neck
        C              Bb
branded with a scarlet letter
        Am             F
i don't think i put it there
  C             Bb
i feel like i'd remember
    Am           F
but it was no surprise, i guess
     C                     G
when it appeared one september



because


          C          G       F                C5
there's a ghost of a boy who walks through my halls
          C          G              Am           F
there's a ghost of a boy that don't talk much at all
   C           G            F            C5
he sits and he waits as the days stagger by
   C           G           Am            F
he sits and he stares as i don't seem to cry
          C          G              F             C5
there's a ghost of a boy, i kind of hope he won't leave
        C       G       C5        C5
because alone i might unweave
C               C        C
alone i might unweave


       Am         F
cuz if i am being honest 
        C              Bb
i'm not doing too damn good
  Am               F
i think i fell off of the place
        C                    Bb
where i thought i might have stood
    Am                 F
but he knows where i'm coming from
     C           Bb
he's seen it all before
        Am                  F
and his distress will start to sink in
        C                    G
when my feet don't touch the floor



because


          C          G       F                C5
there's a ghost of a boy who walks through my halls
          C          G              Am           F
there's a ghost of a boy that don't talk much at all
  C           G         F          C5
i walk by the mirror, i ignore the reflection
C          G     Am            F
justifying it as some "self-protection"
        C           G        F           C5
cuz the face of the ghost is haunted and pained
   C          G               C5         C5
it reminds me it won't be the same
   C          G              C          C
it reminds me i won't be the same


     F           G          Em         Em
that face in the glass is a little too familiar
    F            G      Em         Em
the glaze on his eyes a little too peculiar
G               G               G               G
just ignore him just ignore him just ignore him just-
Am Am F F
watch me
G G  Em Em
fade away
Am Am F F
watch me
G G  Em Em
fade away
Am Am F F
watch me
G G G G(hold strum)
fade a-
