Chord Not A Robot But A Ghost by Andrew Bird

"not a robot , but a ghost" by andrew bird album - noble beast 2009 this song has a lot of tricky timing , a key change or two , strange section lengths , etc . . . so listen closely to the song to hear all of that , because i’ve only given you the basics here . additionally , some parts are based more on the movement of different complex instrumental and melodic lines than simple chords , so a few chord sections here are simply loose representations . feel free to correct them if you find a better fit . email me with questions and/or comments at willowbrookchaps@gmail . com intro | : Bm6 | C#7b9 | F#m | n .
