  • That emerging doomy intro is:
     
    F#dim Bbdim Ddim F#dim* Bbdim* Ddim*
  • G -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A ---------------------------------5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-13-13-13-13-17-17-17-17-
  • E -2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-----------------------------------------
     
    The verse (please pay mind to the bars) is:
  •  
    Cm?...
    G -----------------------------------------|---------------------------
  • D ----1------0------3--6--5----------------|----1------0------3--6-----
    A -3------3------3----------3--3--3------2-|-3------3------3--------3--
    E ------------------------------------3----|---------------------------
  •  
    Gm7
    G --5-5-5-5-5-5-----|---------------------------------------|---------
  • D ------------------|----1------0------3--6--5--------------|---------
    A ------------------|-3------3------3----------3--3--3------|---1-1-1-
    E ------------------|------------------------------------3--|-3-------

    G -------------------------|-----------------------------|
  • D -------------------------|-----------------------------|
    A ---1-1-1---1-1-1---1--1--|-2--2-2-2----2--2-2-2----2-2-|
    E -3-------3-------3-------|-----------0-----------0-----|

    Okay the chords played with the bass lines are played like this:
    Cm?... consists of three chords (that I have personally named Cm, CmX, and
  • CmY), that and the rest are played like:
     
    E A D G B E
  •  
    Cm x x x 5 4 3
    CmX x x x 7 6 4
  • CmY x x x 7 6 6
    Gm7 x x x 7 6 6
    E x x x 9 9 7
  •  
    Notice that CmY and Gm7 are played identically. Trust me about this. The
    way how these chords are played are with a quick backstroke to the beat
  • (like how many reggae songs are played). You should play the chords in
    this order with occurence with the bass notes and music:
     
  • Cm Cm CmX CmY
    Cm Cm CmX Cm
    Cm Cm CmX CmY
  • Cm Cm CmX CmY
    Cm Cm CmX CmY
    Cm Cm CmX Cm
  • Gm7 Gm7 Gm7 Gm7
    E E E E
     
  • I hope you understood that. If you did not, you listen to the music
    carefully to see what I mean. Every chord is a guitar stroke. Anyway,
    those cool riffs that are played by the horns and whistles (?) during the
  • verse goes something like this:
     
    Riff 1:
  • E -------------7h8p7--------
    B -8--------8--------9--8---
    G --------------------------
  • D --------------------------
    A --------------------------
    E --------------------------
  •  
    Riff 2:
    E ----------------------
  • B ----------------------
    G ----------------------
    D ----5-4-----3--1--0---
  • A -3--------------------
    E ----------------------
     
  • Riff 3:
    E -3---1-------------
    B --------2--1--0----
  • G -------------------
    D -------------------
    A -------------------
  • E -------------------
     
    Riff 1 is that Middle Eastern sounding flute. Riff 2 are the horns that
  • play and Riff 3 is that little whistle played during the Gm7 to E chord
    change. The Riffs go in order: 1, 2, 1, 3. Listen to the song to check
    with that.
  •  
    After that verse section, the second verse section begins. It is that eerie
    sounding part where you hear the children screaming and chanting. I really
  • do not know what the guitar plays but in theory the chord changes with the
    bass riff underneath is as follows:
     
  • Cm Bdim Bb
    G --------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
    D ------5---------5---|------5---------5---|------3---------3---|
  • A -3--6---6--3--6---6-|-3--6---6--3--6---6-|-2--5---5--1--5---5-|
    E --------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
     
  • Cm Gm
    G ---------------------|
    D ------5--------------|
  • A -3--6---6------------|
    E -----------3----3----|
     
  • The song then goes back to the intro riff and then the bridge appears, this
    is that -Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town- part,
    which takes the song from it~s eerie doomy feel to happy tidings or so-so.
  • The bass riff is:
     
    Db Gb Db Gb G
  • G -------------|----------------------|-------------|-----------------|---|
    D -------------|------------4--4--2-1-|-------------|----4--1--1------|---|
    A -4--4--4-4-4-|------1-2-4-----------|-4--4--4-4-4-|------------4----|---|
  • E -------------|-2--2-----------------|-------------|-2-------------2-|-3-|
     
    The song takes us back to the verse, then the second verse and then it
  • pretty much stays on the verse bass notes until the end of the song. These
    are basically the riffs for Ghost Town.
     
  • A way of playing the intro chords are these ways:
     
    E A D G B E
  •  
    F#dim x x x 2 1 2
    Bbdim x x x 6 5 6
  • Ddim x x x 10 9 10
    F#dim* x x x 14 13 14
    Bbdim* x x x 18 17 18
  • Ddim* x x x 22 21 22
     
    Personally I do no have a guitar that goes up to the 22nd fret so Ddim*
  • can be played like Ddim. It really does not matter.
     
    The lyrics can be interpreted this way:
  •  
    This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
    All the clubs are being closed down
  • This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
    Bands won~t play no more
    Too much fighting on the dance floor
  •  
    (Eerie children chant: Aaahh-la-la-la-la-la-la...)
     
  • Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
    We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown
     
  • This town (town) is coming like a ghost town
    WHY MUST THE YOUTH FIGHT AGAINST THEMSELVES?
    GOVERMENT LEAVING THE YOUTH ON THE SHELF
  • This place (town) is coming like a ghost town
    NO JOB TO BE FOUND IN THIS COUNTRY
    Can~t go on no more
  • The people getting angry
     
    (Eerie children chant: Aaahh-la-la-la-la-la-la...)
  •  
    This town is coming like a ghost town
    This town is coming like a ghost town...
