Ghost Ship In A Storm by Jim O'Rourke


    Ghost Ship In A Storm



Capo:no capo

[Intro]
D Dm
D Bm F#m G Bm A#
D
 
[Verse]
Am                        D
Nothing makes me want to disappear
                     G
As when someone opens their mouth
 
Am D G
(humming)
 
Am
It's just my luck
                D
I get hit by a car
               G
While carrying a cake
 
Am
Dripping cherries
                 D
Onto the pavement
                 G
Bride and groom on my face
 
[Chorus]
E                    Am                D
I'm not there like a ghost ship in a storm
 
[Verse]
Am D G
(vocalising)
 
Am
It only figures
                  D
That I'd ride my bike
          G
Into wet cement
 
Am
And as I'm sinkin'
                        D
The last thing that I think
                 G
Is did I pay my rent
 
[Chorus]
E                      Am               D
I ride through like a ghost ship in a storm
 
[Instrumental]
Dm G# F F
Dm G# F F Em Em
Bm D G G
Bm D G
 
Bm G (repeat)
 
Piano then continues to fade playing something along the lines of Bm Em G A. Em 
could be an E I'm not sure.
Either way try playing an F# on the low (thick) E string between the Em & G to 
get a little closer.
 
The riff played by the piano/bass at the end of each verse (i.e. on the G) is 
something like this:
 
D|-----0---|
A|---2---2-|
E|-3-------|
 
If you're playing it by yourself on the acoustic, play that as a bassline while 
fingerpicking or something,
else have your bassist and/or pianist play it. The only other riffs are the 
trumpet and slide guitar parts in
the outro.


Nothing makes me want to disappear
As when someone opens their mouth
It's just my luck
I get hit by a car
While carrying a cake
Dripping cherries
Onto pavement
Bride and groom on my face
I'm not there like a ghost ship in a storm
It only figures
That I'd ride my bike
Into wet cement
And as I'm sinkin'
The last thing that I think
Is did I pay my rent
I ride through like a ghost ship in a storm
