Not A Robot But A Ghost
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.
