Biography:
Zachary Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Matt Sanchez (drums), and Dave Rublin (bass) started the band "American Authors" Boston, Massachusetts in 2012, but soon moved to Brooklyn, New York. As their band name suggests, this quartet writes stories through their music to share their struggles, high and lows, and changes.
Soon after forming, American Authors caught the attention of Island Records, which signed the band to a record deal.

Song: Lights (Ellie Goulding cover)
Artist: American Authors

Tabbed by: Patrick Gamache
Standard Tuning
Capo 4
I’m just on a tabbing spree today, so here you go. I wanted to find the chords to
this, couldn’t, and so I just did them myself. It’s incredibly easy.
There are two guitars, but I can’t figure out what the second one is doing during
the chorus. The guitar that you hear all by itself at the beginning is doing this:
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|4-6---4-6---4-6-|
D|----------------|
A|----------------|
E|----------------| and just do this until your fingers fall off, I guess.
Now, here’s the song.
Chords:
Am |x02210|
C |332010|
Fmaj7 |x33210|
Am C
I had a way then
Fmaj7
losing it all on my own
Am C
I had a heart then
Fmaj7
but the queen has been overthrown
Am C
And I'm not sleeping now
Fmaj7
the dark is too hard to beat
Am C Fmaj7
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
Am C
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Fmaj7
You shine It when I'm alone
Am C
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
Fmaj7
And dreaming when they're gone
Am
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
C
Calling, calling, calling home
Am C
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
Fmaj7
You shine it when I'm alone
And then that’s it for the rest of the song. Enjoy!
