I am proud to present the chords to the White Wives' "Hungry Ghosts." The chord 
placements are a little tricky to place to around the lyrics, but I did my best. 
Roger has said that they write all of their songs in D tuning, but this song works 
just fine in standard. All we need is that lead guitar and we can have some fun. Enjoy.
