      Don't forget to swing the strumming pattern a bit. Other versions on the site didn't have the bridge, so
i did it. Email me for questions at dominic.caudill1@gmail.com.
of course all tablature is relative to the capo, e.g. since the capo is on the 6th fret if a tab says fret 3,
in actuality it's fret 9. 
app. 120 bpm

[Intro] 
D  A7  G G/F#  Em  Asus2
(humming)

[Verse] 
 D
all around me
      A7
in the air hangs a wreath
    G
of blackest bile, and smoke
        G/F#   Em    Asus2
that only I can see
    D
I open up my heart
    A7
and let it all in
    G
and it kills all my love
           G/F#   Em    Asus2
and hope for everyone
 
[Chorus] 
       Em          Dsus2   G6   G6/F# Em
and it hasn't been easy on you,
     Dsus2     G6          G6/F#  Em
I know that more than most.
     Dsus2     G6          G6/F#  Em
I am born to be alone,
       Dsus2    G6         
I am just some lonely ghost

G6  G6  A7sus2  A7sus2

(pause) (stomp foot. slightly faster here.)

[2nd Intro] 
D  A7  G G/F#  Em  Asus2
(humming)
 
[Verse 2]
D
all around us
        A7
hangs an air of darkest doom,
     G
and it flows out my lungs
      G/F#         Em       Asus2
and slowly fills the room
D
I open up my heart
    A7
and stick my fingers in,
    G                 
but you will never want
G/F#   Em           Asus2
what I have to give
 
[Chorus 2]
       Em          Dsus2   G6   G6/F# Em
and it hasn't been easy on you,
     Dsus2     G6          G6/F#  Em
I know that more than most.
     Dsus2     G6          G6/F#  Em
I am born to be alone,
       Dsus2    G6         
I am just some lonely ghost

G6

During the last bridge it really is difficult to tell what's happening over all the reverb and layered stuff
so if you think I'm wrong, you're probably right. comment any suggestions or email me.

the weird reverb-y riff that happens near the end of the chorus 1 goes something like this:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-7-7-7-4-4-4---------0-----------0-----------------------------|
D|-a bunch of times-------4--2--0-----4-2-4--0-------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
                     looooonely ghost...
