Ghost On The Shore by Lord Huron
Ghost On The Shore
The song is in 3/4 time, so the easiest way to play it is to play the bass note
followed by two down strokes. The verse sections are a repeat of the intro with
each chord getting two measures. The progression and timing vary at the bridge,
so listen to the song to get it down.
