Artist: Bush Song: Head Full of Ghosts Album: Golden State Tabbed by: Nathan Rau The chords in this song are very simple. It's all the melodies over the chords that make this song really cool. Still, I always recommend listening to the recording while learning a song. The intro is really easy: e---------------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------------- G-1010xx1010xx1010xx1010xx1010---1010xx1010xx1010xx1010xx1010---------- D---------------------------------------------------------------------- A--8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8----8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8---------- E---------------------------------------------------------------------- Then the chords begin. There are 3 progressions: chorus, verse, bridge The chorus: F5F5 C5C5 D5D5 Bb5Bb5 (like Glycerine) The verse is a riff built off of: A5A5 C5C5 Bridge: F5F5 A5A5 Chorus: F5F5 C5C5 D5D5 Bb5Bb5 e---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G-----------------555-5-55-55-555-777-7-77-77-777-333-3-33-33-333 D-333-3-33-33-333-555-5-55-55-555-777-7-77-77-777-333-3-33-33-333 A-333-3-33-33-333-333-3-33-33-333-555-5-55-55-555-111-1-11-11-111 E-111-1-11-11-111------------------------------------------------ Verse(A augmentedA type): A5A5 C5C5 e---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------0------------------------------------------------ D---------------------------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E-555-4h5-5-5-55---888-7h8-8-8-888\------------------------------ (Play the A5A5 riff twice in a row on the fifth time instead of going to the C5C5 part, this happens right before the chorus) Bridge: e-------------------------------- B-------------------------------- G-------------------------------- D-3-3-3-33-33-333-7-7-7-77-77-777 A-3-3-3-33-33-333-7-7-7-77-77-777 E-1-1-1-11-11-111-5-5-5-55-55-555 Transition: e----------------- B----------------- G----------------- D----------------- A----------------- E-555-4h5-5-5----- Putting it together, the song goes as follows: Intro riff-[chorus1X]-[verse5X]-[chorus2X]-[verse5X]-[chorus3X]-[transition]-[ bridge2X]-[verse(play the A5A5 portion 4X)]- [chorus4X(on the last one you end on the D5D5 and hold)]-[Outro] That is the basic structure, there are really cool melodies played over each part. Melodies: #1) Play this over the first time you play the Chorus (before words come in) Also play the second half of this melody over the second half of the last 4 choruses and continue one more time for the outro.
