The Academy Is... - Ghost
From the album Santi
Tab by moontard


"Ghost" is a bonus track from the album Santi. In my opinion its the best song on there.
This is the entire song except the solo. If anyone can give me a hand on that PM me or whatevs.
Even though The Academy Is... have two guitarists, I have made this tab for one guitar
only as the only
time the two guitars are playing seperate things (that I am aware of) is in the solo
as I said I haven't
tabbed). Enjoy.

Post-Chorus

D|-x--x--x--x--x-----xxxxx-----------|
A|-12-11-9--9-\5-----xxxxx-----------|
E|-------------------xxxxx-----------|   This is a fun little riff to play
				 	On the slide make sure you sort of
					drag your hand along the frets to get
					the right effect. Don't go straight to
					the D octave. Then just scratch the hell
					out of your guitar.

Verse 2

e|--------|
B|-x-10---|
G|-x-11---|
D|-x-x----|
A|-x-9----|
E|--------|	You don't have to play the A note on the B string, you can't really hear it that
		well in the song. If you do a slight slide after playing this it sounds
                pretty cool
		but again you can barely hear this in the song.

Anyway thats the majority of the song, i'm sure you guys can figure out when you play each bit.
As I said any suggestions on the solo would be great.
