Text File

Here's The Ghost of Ralph's Mom from the album Dither. I tried to
show timing with the spacing but its best to listen to the song to get it
exactly

Intro:
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|-------------7-7---5-5\4------|
D|-3-3---5-5---7-7---5-5\4-5----|
A|-3-3---5-5---5-5---3-3\2-5----|
E|-1-1---3-3---------------3----|
That is played four times.

Verses:
  F5    G5
|----------------|
|----------------|
|----------------|
|-3-3---5-5------|
|-3-3---5-5------|
|-1-1---3-3------|
That is played four times and then the following is played twice.
  C    G    F
|-0----3----1--------|
|-1----3----1--------|
|-0----0----2--------|
|-2----0----3--------|
|-3----2----3--------|
|------3----1--------|

Then back to the verse part (just F5>G5: 4X) followed by the next part (C>G>F: 2X)

The chorus goes like this:
  C     G       F       G         C     G     F
|-0-0---3---3---1---1---3---3---3-0-----3-----1-----------|
|-1-1---3---3---1---1---3---3---3-1-----3-----1-----------|
|-0-0---0---0---2---2---0---0---0-0-----0-----2-----------|
|-2-2---0---0---3---3---0---0---0-2-----0-----3-----------|
|-3-3---2---2---3---3---2---2---2-3-----2-----3-----------|
|-------3---3---1---1---3---3---3-------3-----1-----------|
Thats played four times during the chorus

Back to the verse: F5>G5: 4X> C>G>F: 2X

Chorus again: C>G>F>G>C>G>F: 4X

Solo is played over the verse chords: F5>G5

The Final verse is played on acoustic guitar like this with slight variations each time through:
  C     G       F       C
|-0---0-----3-3-------1---------0-|
|-1---1-----3-3-------1-------1---|
|-0---0-----0-0-----2-------0-----|
|-2---2-----0-0-3---------2-------|
|-3---3-----------------3---------|
|-------3-------------------------|
That is played four times through as it is shown then on the fifth
and sixth time around a G5 is played right after the first note of the
last C chord, then during the seventh time around go right in the the
C>G>F progression twice instead of playing the second C chord.

Last Chorus: C>G>F>G>C>G>F: 3X > C>G>F>C>G>F>outro

The outro goes back into the intro riff again:
e|------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|
G|-------------7-7---5-5\4------|
D|-3-3---5-5---7-7---5-5\4-5----|
A|-3-3---5-5---5-5---3-3\2-5----|
E|-1-1---3-3---------------3----|
That is played a bunch of times with a solo being played over it.

This is a pretty simple song but i probably made seem a little more 
complicated than it actually is.
