NOTATION FOR BITS WHICH ARE PERHAPS A BIT TRICKIER:


-Bm rhyhthm , repeat through much of the verse:

     B5
e |   | ----------------- |   | 
b | o | -----7-7-----7-7- | o | 
g |   | -----7-7-----7-7- |   | 
d |   | -----0-0-----0-0- |   | 
a | o | ---------5------- | o | 
e |   | -7--------------- |   | 


-( G5 , F#5 , A5 ) verse riff (w/B5 lead in & out):

    B5              G5   F#5 A5      B5
e |  | ---------------------------- |   | ----------------- |   | 
b |  | -----7-7-------------------- | o | -----7-7-----7-7- | o | 
g |  | -----7-7-------------------- |   | -----7-7-----7-7- |   | 
d |  | -----0-0-------------------- |   | -----0-0-----0-0- |   | 
a |  | ---------5---0---2~~~0~~~4~~ | o | ---------5------- | o | 
e |  | -7---------------3~~~2~~~5~~ |   | -7--------------- |   | 
                                "...ghost gone."


-use BARRE CHORDS for chorus section,
-the same rhythm as the verse, then the 'chorus riff':

    G5  F#5  A5   B5     G5
e |  | ---------------- |   | ----------------- |   | 
b |  | ---------------- | o | -----3-3-----3-3- | o | 
g |  | ---------------- |   | -----4-4-----4-4- |   | 
d |  | ---------------- |   | -----5-5-----5-5- |   | 
a |  | -2~~~0~~~4~~~5~~ | o | ---------5------- | o | 
e |  | -3~~~2~~~5~~~7~~ |   | -3--------------- |   | 
   "mud-dy  crawling   through"


Verse riff referred to below as ( G5 , F#5 , A5 ),
Chorus riff notated above the chords as --((chorus riff))--,
this is to make everything clearer,
I hope it works as intended.


----------------------------------------------------------------------


B5
What do I want with my life now that you're gone?

( G5  F#5  A5 )            B5
           I want your ghost gone.

B5
What do I want with this wood now that it's sawn?

( G5  F#5  A5 )           B5
           I want the stump gone,

( G5  F#5  A5 )                B5
           and the land it grew on.


         A5                   G5             A5
Oh black lagoon, you have my shoe, so I go shoeless.

   --((chorus riff))--
     G5   F#5  A5   B5   G5                   B5
I go mud-dy   crawling through.


B5
What do I want with my home now that I'm gone?

( G5  F#5  A5 )           B5
           I want the shades drawn,

( G5  F#5  A5 )            B5
           and the overgrown lawn.

B5
I would gladly abandon a limb in the trap's jaw,

( G5  F#5  A5 )                  B5
           Just as long as I crawl on,

( G5  F#5  A5 )                   B5
           with no trapper to call on.


             A5                 G5
Thorough and true, by stem and root,

                  --((chorus riff))--
       A5            G5  F#5   A5   B5   G5
I know no-one now.     Now   I   say "who?"
