Lights Out chords & tabs

TUNING: E (eBGDAE) How to read these chord schemes?
Lights out, 
Here comes the night, 
As the darkness falls over the light

Lights out, 
There goes the day
And this fear that comes won't go away

And I'm losing track of time, 
In the corners of my mind
And I'm living out my private suicide (lights out)

Lights out
I lost myself
In the space between heaven and hell.

Lights out, 
Finding my way, 
Did I waste my time losing the way?

And I'm losing track of time
In the corners of my mind, 
And I'm living out my private suicide (lights out)

Lights out!

Lights out
Here comes the night
As the darkness falls over the light.

Lights out
I lost myself
In the space between heaven and hell

Well I'm losing track of time
In the corners of my mind
And I'm living out my private suicide (lights out)

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

  • "0" means open string
  • "x" means this string isnt played
  • Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
