LIGHTS (S. Perry-N. Schon) from Journey: Infinity transcribed by Edward Brock (bobo@surfsouth.com) Here is the opening progression, picked ballad style (D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D) e 0/2 0/2 B 3 3 3 3 2/3 2 0 G 2 0 3 3/4 3 0 2 0 2 D 0 4 0 2 2 A 4 E e 3 2 B 1/3 1 0 3 3 3 G 3 3/4 3 0 0 2 2 2 D 4 2 0 (let ring...) A 4 3 E Oh h'whoa oh-ooh The intro is sort of improvised throughout the song. The chorus is picked in the same style, but the progression is D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D-F#-D-A-F#-C-D. Same chords, slightly different/extended progression The buildup ("It was sad--oh...") is a strummed, sweeping progression that goes like this: F#-G-D-A-F#-G-D-A, ending with the chords F#-C-D as they are played to end the chorus and intro. When the lights go down in the city, And the sun shines on the bay, Ooh I wanna be there in my city--oh-whoa Oh, h'whoa, oh-ooh So you think you're lonely, Well my friend I'm lonely too, I wanna be there in my city by the bay, Oh, h'whoa, oh-ooh (Chorus) It was sad--oh there's been mornings out on the road without you without your charm, oh-whoa my my my my na na, Oh, h'whoa oh-ooh (Chorus x2) I think this is one of Journey's coolest songs, personally, and it's fairly simple. If you really want to learn it, this should get you there. If there are any problems or questions please feel free to write me.
