Verse 1: Gbm I'm a ghost D Walking in a boring dream Bm You are there A Talking and I'm not listening G I am busy doing nothing D A And you're rudely interrupting Pre-chorus: Gbm D It's a myth and now I see it clearly A D Bm You don't have to be sad to make something worth hearing Gbm A Now I'm calm and content Bm G One more burden off my back Chorus: D A Bm You don't wanna be a creator G D A Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say D A Bm G Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand Verse 2: Gbm I'm a ghost D Walking on an empty street Em No name anymore A No need to call for me G I'm a long-lost hometown hero D Em Late to legendary past lives within me Pre-chorus: Gbm D If I had the offer to do it again A Bm G Make me invincible, invisible, or brain dead Gbm A D G If the body and the life were two things that we could divide A D I'd deliver up my shell to be filled with somebody else Chorus: D A Bm You don't wanna be a creator G D A Doesn't mean you've got nothing to say D A Bm G Put down the pen, don't let it force your hand D A Bm You don't wanna be a leader G D A Doesn't mean you don't know the way D A Bm G Hold your own hand, walk on without a plan This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play The Shell on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. Expect a medium pace, around 100 bpm. You are playing it in D major. The chords stay at the novice level, nothing tricky in there. Play the verses soft with light downstrokes and open up into the chorus.
