Editors - Lights guitar tab
Lights
by Editors (off the album "The Back Room", 2005)
Standard Tuning (both guitars)
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--|

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):

VERSE/REFRAIN [1:32]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Live they play this slightly differently, and I can't really hear Tom's guitar (at
all) so... if you like, play the E in the chorus. If you think Tom plays something
and you know what it is.. please tell :).
Chris
e|-#12#--------|-#12-12#-----|-#14#--------|-#19#--------|
B|-#12#--------|-#14/15#-----|-#17#--------|-#19#--------|
G|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
D|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
(massive echo all the time)
_____________________________________________________________________________
BREAK [1:45]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Tom (all the way through the break)
e|-------------|
B|----5--------|
G|----4--------|
D|----2--------| strummed a few times on its own first.
A|----2--------|
E|-------------|
Then Chris comes in
[1:47]
Chris
e|-12----------|-12--12------|
B|-12----------|-12--12------|
G|-------------|-------------| x4
D|-------------|-------------|
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
(keep with the echo)
_____________________________________________________________________________
CHORUS [2:01]
_____________________________________________________________________________
Same as the first and second choruses the first time. Then Tom carries on and
Chris goes up an octave, so it's instead:
Chris
e|-15----14----|-15----12----|
B|-------------|-------------|
G|-------------|-------------|
D|-------------|-------------| x8 (over Tom's chords)
A|-------------|-------------|
E|-------------|-------------|
END! :)
Thanks for reading.

I still love the light on baby

I've got a million things to
