LIGHTS OFF - Jay Sean
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
April 24th 2010
Tabbed by: Wayne S
Tuning: Standard EADGBE
Capo: 3
Chords:
Bm 224432 or xx0321 - 224432 definitely sounds better
G 320033 or 355433 - I feel 355433 may be easier to switch to after Bm
D x00323
A 002220
For no capo, just the chords:
Bm -> Dm - 557765 or 000231. 557765 preferred.
G -> A#/Bb - 688766 or 113331 - Easier to transition from Dm to 688766.
D -> F - 133211
A -> C - 032010 or 335553 or 8-10-9-9-8-8
Haven't tabbed out the no capo version
[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.
