O'Rourke is probably my favorite musician and I've had a few chords + tabs of his songs sitting around for
some time now, and decided to finally upload them.. Enjoy...
[Intro]
D Dm
D Bm F#m G Bm A#
D
[Verse]
AmNothing makes me want to dDisappear
As when someone opens Gtheir mouth
Am(huDmmGing)
AmIt's just my luck
I get hit by a cDar
While carrying Ga cake
AmDripping cherries
Onto the pavementD  
Bride and groom oGn my face
[Chorus]
EI'm not there like a Amghost ship in a stDorm
[Verse]
Am(voDcaGlising)
AmIt only figures
That I'd ride my bDike
Into wet cGement
AmAnd as I'm sinkin'
The last thing that I thDink
Is did I pay my rGent
[Chorus]
EI ride through like a gAmhost ship in a stDorm
[Instrumental]
Dm G# F F
Dm G# F F Em Em
Bm D G G
Bm D G
 Bm   G(repeat)
Piano then continues to fade playing something along the lines of Bm Em G A. Em could be an E I'm not sure.
Either way try playing an F# on the low (thick) E string between the Em & G to get a little closer.
The riff played by the piano/bass at the end of each verse (i.e. on the G) is something like this:
D|-----0---|
A|---2---2-|
E|-3-------|
If you're playing it by yourself on the acoustic, play that as a bassline while fingerpicking or something,
else have your bassist and/or pianist play it. The only other riffs are the trumpet and slide guitar parts in
the outro.
