------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIGHTS OFF - Jay Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Submitted: April 24th 2010 Last Updated: July 30th 2010 Tabbed by: Wayne S Tuning: Standard EADGBE Capo: 3 Chords: Bm: 224432 G: 320033 or 355433 - I feel 355433 may be easier to switch to after Bm D: x00233 or 557775 A: 002220 or 577655 No capo? Chords: Bm -> Dm: 557765 or 000231. 557765 preferred. G -> Bb: 688766 or 113331 - Easier to transition from Dm to 688766. D -> F: 133211 or 8-8-10-10-10-8 A -> C: 032010 or 335553 or 8-10-9-9-8-8 [1], [2], [3], [4] are cues for the vocals. They should line up with the string+fret to play. For example, for [1], it lines up with "2", so for the first line of the first verse, play the A string (5th string) on 2nd fret, you sing "losing" (chorus) at the same time. You can play the verses by finger-picking too, but you wouldn't want to play the whole song like that, would you? It would sound too monotonous! Hence I made the verses/bridges chords, and the finger-picking (you can actually hear that in the song). If you want to play the verses by picking, then Bm -> [1] G -> [2] D -> [3] A -> [4] Use the same cues as you use for the chorus.
