Song: Head Full of Ghosts
Album: Golden State
Tabbed by: Nathan Rau

The chords in this song are very simple. It's all the melodies over the 
chords that make this song really cool. Still, I always recommend 
listening to the recording while learning a song.

The intro is really easy:
e---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-1010xx1010xx1010xx1010xx1010---1010xx1010xx1010xx1010xx1010----------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8----8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8xx-8-8----------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------

Then the chords begin. There are 3 progressions: chorus, verse, bridge
The chorus: F5 C5 D5 Bb5 (like Glycerine)
The verse is a riff built off of: A5 C5
Bridge: F5 A5
Chorus:
  F5              C5              D5              Bb5
e----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-----------------555-5-55-55-555-777-7-77-77-777-333-3-33-33-333
D-333-3-33-33-333-555-5-55-55-555-777-7-77-77-777-333-3-33-33-333
A-333-3-33-33-333-333-3-33-33-333-555-5-55-55-555-111-1-11-11-111
E-111-1-11-11-111------------------------------------------------

Verse(A type):
  A5                  C5
e----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------0------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E-555-4h5-5-5-55---888-7h8-8-8-888------------------------------

(Play the A5 riff twice in a row on the fifth time instead of going 
to the C5 part, this happens right before the chorus)

Bridge:
e--------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G--------------------------------
D-3-3-3-33-33-333-7-7-7-77-77-777
A-3-3-3-33-33-333-7-7-7-77-77-777
E-1-1-1-11-11-111-5-5-5-55-55-555

Transition:
e-----------------
B-----------------
G-----------------
D-----------------
A-----------------
E-555-4h5-5-5-----

Putting it together, the song goes as follows:
Intro 
riff-[chorus1X]-[verse5X]-[chorus2X]-[verse5X]-[chorus3X]-[transition]-[
bridge2X]-[verse(play the A5 portion 4X)]-
[chorus4X(on the last one you end on the D5 and hold)]-[Outro]

That is the basic structure, there are really cool melodies played
over each part.

Melodies:
#1) Play this over the first time you play the Chorus (before words
come in) Also play the second half of this melody over the second
half of the last 4 choruses and continue one more time for the 
outro. 
E---17--------------------------------17-------------------------------
B------18--18---------------18----------------18---------------18------
G----17------17------15-17----17-------15-17----17------15-17----1714-
D--------15---------------15----15-15-------15---------------15--------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------

#2) Play this over the middle 2 choruses (first chorus with words) and 
the last 4 choruses. 
e------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
G--10-9-7-9-10-10-9-7-9-10--10--9--7--9--10-10-9-7-9-10
D------------------------------------------8--8-8-8-8--
A-8--8-8-8-8-------------------------------------------
E-------------8--8-8-8-8--10--10-10-10-10--------------

There are some bends and other little things over the verses and the 
bridge but they aren't hard to figure out.
