These are the chords for the acoustic version of this song.
Enjoy! )
Standard tuning (eBGDAE)
CAPO 4TH FRET
Chords:
[G] [D7M] [Em] [C] [Cadd9] [G2] [C7M]
() - add this note when you play the chorus if you want to sound perfect.
Note: The D7M is in reality called a D7Madd11, I just abbreviated it to make this more simple.
Also, in this song Lights uses three different variations of the G chord, so in this tab the
chord called G2 is not a real G2 chord. Of course all of these G chord variations sound pretty
much the same, so you can play the song by just using one of them. I just wanted to include
every little thing there is to know for all you fellow perfectionists. )
Tip: To sound like Lights, you should palm-mute the verses.
