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
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/ellie_goulding/lights_crd_ver_4.html ]
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.
