Song: LIGHT IN YOUR EYES
Band: BLESSID UNION OF SOULS
Transcribed by: J. White, - Austin, TX
Note: Piano chords differ slightly from guitar chords throughout, and guitar takes
a backseat to what sounds to be
a mandolin in the chorus. This is probably part of the source of confusion with
the other tabs. Strumming the
high strings only during the chorus helps with sound matching. Here is a version
that can be played solo on
rhythm guitar, or with piano accompaniment, that I believe is far more accurate
than the other versions available.
***Capo - 2nd fret
Chords:
A: x02220
D: xx0232
E: 022100
C#m: x46654
B: x24442
Fm: 244222
Special Chords:
Asus2/C#: x42220 (or just use A chord, if this chord is too oppressive)
Dsus2/F#: 2x0230 (or use D chord, or Dsus2)
Intro: A D Fm E (x2)
Verses:
AI can't Dremember the Elast time Dwe kissed goodAbye D E D
AAll our I Dlove you's were Ejust not eDnough to surAviveD E
ESomething your C#meyes never tDold me
But it's Aonly now to plain toE see
Brilliant disC#mguise when you hDold me
and I'm Bfree D E
(then verse again)
AI've been Dthinking and Ehere's what I've Dcome to concAlude D E D
ASometimes the Ddistance is Emore than two Dpeople can Ause D E
EBut how could C#mI have Dknown girl
It was Atime and not space you would Eneed
Darlin' toC#mnight, I could Dhold you
And you would Bknow, but Dwould you beElieve
Chorus:
There's a lAight in your eyes that DI used to Esee
There's a Aplace in your heart where DI used to Ebe
Was I Awrong to assume that you were Dwaiting for Bme
There's aD light in your eyes
Did you leave that light Eburning for Ame D Fm E
A D Fm E
ACards and Dphone calls and Ephotograph Dpictures of Ayou D E D
AConstant reDminder of Eall the things Dyou get used Ato D E
EIs there a C#mchance in hell or Dheaven
That there's Astill something here to build Eon
Or do you C#mjust pick up the Dpieces after they Bfall
DBut after Eall
There's a Alight in your eyes that DI used to Esee
And a Asong in the words that Dyou spoke to Eme
Was I Awrong to believe in Dyour melodBy
There's a Dlight in your eyes
Did you leave that light Eburning for Fmme D
Should AI keep on waiting or does Elove keep on fading aFmway D
Fading aBway D E
A G (x3)
A D E D
AIt's been a Dwhile since I've Eseen you so Dhow have you Abeen D E D
Did Ayou get my Dletter I Ewrote you, but DI did not Asend D E
EI tried to C#mcall your old numbDer
But the Avoice that I heard on the Ephone
I recogC#mnized but she Dtold me the number was Bwrong
(piano only, or slow strum or pick guitar as substitute)
***piano chord progression differs somewhat from guitar part - don't have a piano
here to figure out the nuances, but this arrangement will do.
A Asus2/C# Dsus2/F# E
There's a light in my eyes but it's too bright to see
A Asus2/C# Dsus2/F# E
And a pain in my heart where you used to be
A Asus2/C# Dsus2/F# B
Guess I was wrong to assume that you were waiting here for me
Dsus2/F#
There's a light in your eyes
Fm E A Asus2/C# Dsus2/F# E A
Did you leave that light burning for me
END
Or, easy version of last chorus:
There's a Alight in my Aeyes but it's Dtoo bright toE see
And a Apain in my Aheart where Dyou used to Ebe
Guess I was Awrong to asAsume that you were Dwaiting here for Bme
There's a Dlight in your eyes
Did you Fmleave that light bEurning for mAe D E A
