Hi Guys and Gals,

I've recently bought In Your Bright Ray (as a result of getting Intermission) and I love Can You See The Lights - does anyone know the chords for this - I'd like to start playing it in my set. If not this, maybe the title track?

Thanks,

Adam

Hello, Adam! You have excellent taste in my opinion - it's probably my favorite song on In Your Bright Ray. This is coming to me quickly - very simple except for the fact that Grant had so much richness in the overlays.

Important figures in lead guitar, playable over either verse or chorus progression:

D-G-B-G-B-D

B-A-G-F#-G-A

Verses:
e minor - b minor - C major....
(repeat)

Chorus:
G major - b minor - C major...

How about that for starters? Simple, wholesome stuff, that's McLennan for you. Elizabeth

Thanks Eliabeth, that's great - can't wait to try it out tonight! If you know any others from IYBR that would really be appreciated.

I've reworked the tab for 'Can You See the Lights,' as Elizabeth pointed out, there is a lot going on in this song. I am sending to Jonathan Turner as the format changes when posting to the message board.
