Okay, there's a lot of tabs on here which require a capo, so I thought I'd try my
first guitar tab. It seems pretty accurate, sounds good,
and they're also the chords that Ellie uses when she plays Lights live.
Chords:
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
e---
B---
G--2 G--6
D--6 D--4 D--2 D--6
A--6 A--4 A--1 A--4
E--4 E--2 E--- E--X
Intro: (count in barrs of 4, and then change. So G#5 1 2 3 4, change etc)
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5] x2
Verse:
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
I had a way then losing it all on my own
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
I had a heart then, but the Queen has been overthrown
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
And I'm not keeping now, the strength I need to push me
Chorus:
[G#5] [F#5]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
[E] [C#5]
You shine it when I'm alone
[G#5] [F#5]
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[E] [C#5]
And dreaming when they're gone
[G#5] [F#5]
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[E] [C#5]
Calling, calling, calling home
[G#5] [F#5]
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[E] [C#5]
You shine them when I'm alone
(Home)
Verse 2:
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
Noises, I play within my head
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
Touch my own skin, and hope that I'm still breathing
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
And I think back to when, my brother and my sister slept
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
In an unlocked place, the only time I feel safe
Chorus:
[G#5] [F#5]
You show the lights that stop me, turn to stone
[E] [C#5]
You shine it when I'm alone
[G#5] [F#5]
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
[E] [C#5]
And dreaming when they're gone
[G#5] [F#5]
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
[E] [C#5]
Calling, calling, calling home
[G#5] [F#5]
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
[E] [C#5]
You shine them when I'm alone
(Home)
[G#5] [F#5]
Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights
[E] [C#5]
Lights, Lights, Lights, Lights
The rest of the song follows the same pattern. Get out there and download Lights,
let's get it to number one for the amazing Goulding. :)
Thanks.
