Matt Duncan - Beacon http://www.matt-duncan.com/ Tabbed by sorte_muld A lot of the Gmaj7's are subtle variations played by the piano, and sound a bit more saucy on the guitar. Swap them to standard G's if you like that better. I tend to like playing a short G and quick switch to Gmaj7 (in the chords marked by G / Gmaj7 ). Enjoy! Capo 1st fret Intro: | G | Gmaj7 | G / Gmaj7 | Em | Em Am7 I got friends in New York City D D7 G / Gmaj7 'Cause everyone I know left town Em Am7 That's the place your day lit dreams go D D7 G / Gmaj7 Em Where you can't see the sun go down Em Am7 Hold your head up, you're a beacon Bm7 Em You pull me northward in my car A Am You don't have to hit the big time, baby D7 G Gmaj7 G / Gmaj7 Em We know who you are Em Am7 I got friends in LA County D D7 G Where the hillsides shine like stars Em Am7 And the people float like gold dust D7 G Em Through the red rope district bars Em Am7 Hold your head up, you're a beacon Bm7 Em You pull me westward in my car A Am7 You don't have to hit the big time, baby D7 G Em We know who you are Em Am Hold your head up, you're a beacon Bm7 Em Don't let them think you've come that far A Am You were always standing in the spotlight, baby D7 G Em A Am We know who you are Instrumental: Am7 D G / Gmaj7 Em Am7 D G / Gmaj7 Em Em Am7 It's getting cold out on that big lake Bm7 Em Em/G A And the water's painted blue A Am Don't let the skyline fool you, baby D7 G / Gmaj7 Em7/G You know what to do Em7/G G / Gmaj7 You know what to do Em7/G G You know what to do G Cmaj7 (You've got friends in New York City) Cmaj7 G You know what to do.
