My Old Ghosts Ukulele

(ver. 1)
The Wooden Sky

This song is played with a capo on the 3rd fret. All chords and tab shown are relative
to the capo.

These are the basic chords used in the song. There are two fills shown below that are
played basically every time the C and Gsus chords are played. Listen to the song if you
aren't sure of the rhythm. I watched a video of them playing the song and I'm pretty 
confident the chords are spot on.

Chords:
D  -32010
C  -33210
Dsus2 320010
Em -02210
Csus2 -33010

D
Horses by my window go
            C
When you're fast asleep far below
       D                    Dsus2
And I hope that you never know
               C                  Csus2
That while you sleep I still find time for my old ghosts

D

Em                  D
See I was born just yesterday
      C                                     D
And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't
               Dsus2
You know it's hard to find a friend
         D
But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again
           C                      Dsus2
When it's slow I think I'd rather die
               C            Csus2
Then pass this off on some unsuspecting child

D
Angie came to me today
                 C
And said she was born to lead but not to say
         D                Dsus2
That she knows there's no hope
          C                  Csus2
Of making good on all those promises that she wrote

D

Em                  D
Surely there's been some mistake
      C                                      D
Some blind omission or a spot for change but no
              Dsus2
You know it's hard to find a friend
        D
But I'm dumb and I might change my mind again
         C                    Dsus2
When I'm low I still look to ghosts
               C           Csus2
To keep a cool eye on the hand that holds my throat

Em                  D
See I was born just yesterday
      C                                    D
And I try to tell my feet to stay but they won't
