Lights by Editors (off the album "The Back Room", 2005) Standard Tuning (both guitars) Update 18/07/07: Verse/Refrain was wrong. The other tab is nearly right for this, but watching some live videos.. it's slightly different. This is my version of it. Enjoy :) _____________________________________________________________________________ VERSE [0:00] _____________________________________________________________________________ The first verse has a very acoustic feel; try and hear the rhythm of Tom's guitar for this section. The notes on the G strings aren't loudly played. Tom e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| B|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| G|-9--9--9--9-/|-11-11-11-x--|-4--4--4--4-/|-5--5--5--5--| D|-9--9--9--9-/|-12-12-12-x--|-5--5--5--5--|-5--5--5--5--| x4 A|-7--7--7--7-/|-9--9--9--x--|-2--2--2--2-/|-3--3--3--3--| E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| E5 D G C5 I still love the light on baby .. etc Then Russell on bass and Chris on lead come in. Tom plays this chord pattern 4 times again, with Chris playing this at the last bar the first and third times (listen to it if you're confused :P): [0:26] Chris e|-------------|-------------| B|-------------|-------------| G|---------12--|--11~--------| D|-------------|-------------| x2 A|-------------|-------------| E|-------------|-------------| C5 E5 _____________________________________________________________________________ CHORUS [0:26] _____________________________________________________________________________ Tom e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| B|-------------|-------------|-5--5--5--5--|-------------| G|-7--7--7--7--|-7--7--7--7--|-4--4--4--4--|-4--4--4--4--| D|-7--7--7--7--|-7--7--7--7--|-2--2--2--2--|-5--5--5--5--| A|-5--5--5--5--|-5--5--5--5--|-2--2--2--2--|-2--2--2--2--| E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| -\ D5 D5 E G Chris e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| -/ x3 B|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| G|-12----11----|-12----9-----|-12----11----|-12----9-----| D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| Then...
