Every Light In The House 2(Chords)

	        
 
Greg, 
I wanted to say thanks for your site and the many guitar tabs I have 
found in it.  I have gotten a lot of lyrics for my own use and wanted to 
give some feedback on those that I have found with errors and perhaps 
some new additions in the future. 
I play in a small C&W band here in Montana and I just finished 
transcribing Trace Adkins' 'Every Light In The House Is On' and when I 
saw it in your files I noticed many differences from what I had done.  
We each hear different things in a song so here is my rendition.  I have 
included timing strokes that correspond to the 4/4 time it is written in 
so the players will know where the beats are in relation to the words 
and where the chord changes take place.  Just a note about the chorus, 
towards the end trace walks down from a Bb to a G and then ends the last 
line. If you have heard the song it will be easier to figure out but the 
notes are Bb-A-G.  This is a lovely song and I hope everyone out there 
enjoys it as much as I do. 
 
EVERY LIGHT IN THE HOUSE IS ON 
Trace Adkins 
 
(Intro) Bb - F 
(Verse One) 
       F       /       /       / 
I told you I'd leave a light on 
     C           /         /         / 
In case you ever wanted to come back home 
    Bb	        /        /     /            F     /   C - Bb <-(one count 
each) 
You smiled and said you appre-ciate -  the gesture 
    F       /     /          / 
I took your every word to heart 
       C       /        /      / 
?ause I can't stand us being apart 
    Bb      /        /      /           C    /    /    /  
And just to show how much I really miss ya' 
 
(Chorus) 
F     /            /        / 
Every light in the house is on 
    C          /             /        / 
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn 
    Bb         /          /      / 
The front walk looks like runway lights 
     F		 	    C       / 
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night 
F     /            /        / 
Every light in the house is on 
C       /       /     /      Bb      /      /    / 
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone 
G     /     C		 /        F  /   /   / 
- - - Every light in the house is on 
 
(Verse 2) 
If I should ever start forgettin' 
I'll turn the lights off one by one 
So you can see that I agree, it's over 
But until then I want you to know 
If you look south you'll see a glow 
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold ya' 
(Chorus) 
(Repeat Chorus) 
(End with instrumental tag)
