Hungry Ghosts
I am proud to present the chords to the White Wives' "Hungry Ghosts." The chord
placements are a little tricky to place to around the lyrics, but I did my best.
Roger has said that they write all of their songs in D tuning, but this song works
just fine in standard. All we need is that lead guitar and we can have some fun. Enjoy.

If you love the White Wives, please help me in tabbing the rest of their songs.
They are an amazing band and it's a shame that there aren't more songs on here. Thanks!
