The Lights
River Train
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
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...

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)
