      Tabbed from the video on Scott & Gilbert's YouTube with as much accuracy as I could (His hands are almost
always blocked by the mic stand) This part sounds pretty great on its own, but isn't as full as when it's
played with the ukulele part (which I've also posted).

Some notes for playing:

- While lots of these chords could be played as barre chords, particularly the Ab and F, Scott wraps his thumb
around the top of the guitar to hit the bassy notes which seems to work out best for this particular
progression. A regular barred F chord does not sound as correct as the one I've notated but still works, and
switching from the barred Ab to the wrapped around F is just horrendous and I don't recommend it.
As a general rule, if the chord has the low E string held on the 1st or 2nd fret, use your thumb.

-The intro riff that repeats throughout the song is played by fingering a regular C chord and bending the
middle finger down to barre the G string.

   Turn on the ghost light
  C6           C
A wisp on the set

A mouth full of lines that you'll soon forget

   Peel off your body

Leave it behind
   C6         C            Ab          F
So others can take it and steep in your mind

Do you want someone? It's getting late
      C7                    Fmaj7
Do you need someone, do you need a new me?

The mist all condenses and drips from the trees
