Shade by the Tossers, off of the Agony Album
The first part of the song is a mandolin, but you can play it high on the neck like this:

F Am
The thunder cracks at the hills and plains,
G Am
The rain does lash at your window pane.
F Am
I am the ghost of your past refrain,
G Am
I’m your conscience, let me in, let me in,
G Am
I’m your conscience, let me in.
F Am
You cannot bear to go on this way,
G
You’ve passed many trials,
Am
But still you sway,
F Am
You know that something has to change,
G Am
And it’s weak to sit in blame, let me in.
G Am
Oh it’s weak to sit in blame.
F Am
No, you cannot bear to go on this way,
G
You’ve passed many trials,
Am
But still you sway,
F Am
You know that something has to change,
G Am
Or like me soon you’ll be a ghost, let me in,
G Am
Or soon you’ll be a shade.
The guitar in the song strums each chord once or twice every time, but you can strum it
all the way through, which I think sound pretty nice.
