Intro: D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake Verse: Gbm My friends had you figured out Yeah they saw what's inside of you D Trying to hide in another you Bm But your evil was coming through Gbm These guys sitting on the wall They watch every move I make D Bright light living in the shade Bm You go hard makes the spirit shake A Bm I had to go through hell to prove Gbm I'm not insane D Had to meet the devil just to know his name E And that's where my love was burning Yeah it's still burning Chorus: D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake Verse: Gbm Each time that I think you go I turn around and you're creeping in D And I let you under my skin Bm 'Cause I love living in a sin Gbm Boy you never told me True love was going to hurt D True pain that I don't deserve Bm Truth is that I never learn Chorus: D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake Bridge: D A Give up the ghost Gbm Give up the ghost E Give up the ghost D Stop the haunting baby A Give up the ghost Gbm Give up the ghost E Give up the ghost D No more haunting baby I keep going to the river Chorus: D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake D A Gbm E D I keep going to the river to pray A Gbm E D 'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain A Gbm E D And at most, I'm sleeping all these demons away A Gbm E But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Ghost on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the driving 4/4: d – d – d u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm. On this page the song is in A major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 2 half-steps, then a capo on fret 2 brings you back to the key on this page. Drive steady downs through the verse then open the chorus wide and full.

Just wondering what the strum is?
LOVE IT!!! 😉
Thanks a bunch! I think it’s OK in the original key, but the change to E is always a little hard!
Just a tip for everyone who struggles with playing an E chord- regular G sounds nearly identical and literally always works! No matter what song or key it always works lol!
