The Lights
River Train
CD: Eleven
Written By: Sam Sanchez
Tabbed by Jason Marbach - email questions to Smoothie7745 at hotmail.com

Capo 4, all chords relative

C7 var. 1: x32303

NOTE: this chord's name will make a lot of people think that 
this chord is automatically hard, but really it's just a B7 that
you slide up one fret - just make the B7 (x21202), slide all of 
your fingers up one fret, and muffle the B string if you don't want 
that extra "B" note in the chord (the "B" note sounds a little 
funny in the song, but if you played the C7 var. 1 with the "B" 
string open instead of muffled, it really isn't a huge difference...
in fact, I think the recording of the song is actually played with 
the "B" string open, not muffled...)just remember, make the B7 
and slide all of your fingers up one fret...please feel free to 
email any questions you have to me...if need be, I can take a digital 
pic of myself playing the chord and upload it to the message boards 
or to your email so you can see for yourself...Basically, the chord 
is C7, but without the first fret covered on the "B" string...

Listen to the soundbyte to hear an example of how it sounds...

Verse 1:
G                          B7
Went a little crazy, oh, I did a little dumb
C                       D     
Had me some stupid and I smoked a little fun
        G                    B7
Yeah, I did a little nuts, I went a little far
C                          D          G  -  C7 var.1   -   B7   Em...
    But I'm on my way back home

Chorus:
    B7          Em  
But oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, 
B7          C7var.1  B7       Em
   somebody turned   out the lights

Verse 2:
Where did I put it?  Oh, it seems to be misplaced
Where could it have gone, oh, it left without a trace
Where could it be, it couldn't be too far,
But I know I'll never find it in the backseat of my car

Chorus

Verse 3:
Well, eight broke my heart, Lord, seven made my nights
Six made me crazy, oh, five was out of sight
Four was my best friend, oh, three, that was fun
Two was just a fling, but one I love

Chorus (3x)

That didn't take long Larry! lol thanks - I
love playing this song...what an awesome
song...
-Smoothie7745 | 4/15/2004
okay, I finally got the soundbyte up, it's
not perfect - the intro has a note that's an
accidental flub, lol, and the tempo is a
little off in the beginning, but it should
hopefully be enough to get the job
done...let me know if it's not!!!
