Artist: Matchbox Twenty Song Title: Bright Lights Tabbed by: stringping Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Low to Hi When I found out that no one bothered to tab this song I was shocked so I tabbed it out myself with the solo and lead! Great song thats easy to play, listen to the song a few times while refering to the tab before playing. In the first verse and chorus, the lead guitar plays doesnt need to anything but I tabbed out the bass notes for the chords so you can play softly behind the piano. Take note that Guitar2 doesnt come in until the 1st chorus.
