Bảng hợp âm và lời bài hát Gracious – Ben Howard
Ben Howard wrote this song to be played with a capo on the second fret with CFCFGC
tuning, which sounds totally beautiful and is very fun to play. However, if you are
interested in playing the song sans capo and in standard tune, I tabbed out a version
that doesn't sound exactly like his, but it suffices for a quick play.
The trick is to minimize changes in the treble notes of the chords while emphasizing the
base. Often, the only finger that moves between chords is your index finger.
Pick through the chords in a pattern that makes sense to you, and listen well to his
version to get the changes right.
Also, these lyrics is ratchet. I copy-pasted them from the internet; sorry 'bout it.

VERSE 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
How would you know?
ch]Bm[/ch
When everything around you's changing like the weather,
ch]G[/ch
A big black storm.
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And where'd you turn to?
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you let me know?
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Cause I don't want to,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
To trouble your mind with the childish design of how it all should go.
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But I love you so,
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
When it all comes clear, when the wind is settled, I'll be here, you know.
PRE-CHORUS
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Asus[/ch
Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
The sand upon that place
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Asus[/ch
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still
[ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] (hold into chorus)
With just the memory of your face
[ch]D[/ch] [ch]D/C#[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch]' [ch]Asus[/ch]'
Gracious goes the ghost of you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]D/C#[/ch
And I will never forget the plans and the
[ch]Bm[/ch]' [ch]Asus[/ch]'
Silhouettes you drew here and
[ch]D[/ch] [ch]D/C#[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch]' [ch]Asus[/ch]'
Gracious goes the ghost of you
[ch]G[/ch] (hold into verse)
My dear
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
How would you know?
When everything around you's bruised and battered
Like the cold night storm.
And where would you turn to?
Or hide a ghost, a shadow at the most, would you tell me so?
Cause I, I adore you so
When it all comes clear, the wind is settled, I'll be here, you know.
Pre-Chorus
Cause you said ours were the lighthouse towers
The sand upon that place
Darling I'll grow weary, happy still
With just the memory of your face
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans and the
Silhouettes you drew here and
Gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
Gracious goes the ghost of you
And I will never forget the plans and the
Silhouettes you drew here and
Gracious goes the ghost of you
My dear
