Hi, I'm Barry Birmingham and welcome to Freedrumlessonsonline.com.
Hey, we've been putting together some really cool tunes and applying some simple grooves [E] to them.
[A] And the song I'm thinking about today is Lights by Journey.
This is a really cool tune and I love playing this tune.
[C] Basically it's in six and it's like a slow blues.
So we're going to play six on our [N] hi-hat _ _ and _ _ four on the snare drum.
[B] One, two, three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
And then we're going to play the one and the six on the kick drum.
And that'll sound like this. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now here comes the breaks.
All the breaks are in triplet form.
And when I say triplets, meaning it's this kind of a feel.
One, two, [F#] three, four, five, six.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
So all triplets.
_ _ _ [C] So the first break after the guitar riff is this. _
_ _ _ _ Here it is again. _ _ _ _
[B] And then [G#] before the chorus and after the chorus [E] it's going to do this.
Where [C] you play like this.
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [D]
And then on the chorus and the lead solo it's like a [C#] syncopated triplet.
And it'll play like this.
_ _ [C] _ So kind of slow.
Like it almost sounds like you're dragging but you're not.
So _ _ _ _ what I would suggest is maybe listen to it a couple times before trying to play it.
Kind of watch what I'm doing and then follow along.
All right, enjoy.

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ And the lights [B] go [Bm] down in [C] the city.
_ _ [D] And the sun [Bm] shines on [C] the bay. _ _ _
[D] I want to be [Bm] there _ [C] in my detail.
Oh, [Bm] I want _ _ [C] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] to show you _ [C] your _ lonely. _
_ [D] When _ [Bm] my bed is [C] lonely. _ _ _
_ [D] _ I want [Bm] to get back to my [C] city. _ _
_ _ [Bm] Oh, _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Bm] I _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] don't want to be _ _ _ a boy [Bm] without _ [G] you.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G]
Oh, _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C]
I _ [D] want to be a boy without you. _ _
_ When the lights [Bm] go down [C] in the city. _ _
_ [D] And the sun [Bm] shines on [C] the bay. _ _
_ [D] I want to be there [Bm] _ in [C] my detail. _
Oh, I want to [Bm] _ [C] show _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G]
you _ [D] _ your lonely.
[A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [D] When _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ the lights [Bm] go down in [C] the city. _ _
And [D] the sun [Bm] shines on [C] the bay. _
_ [D] I want to be _ [Bm] _
_ _ [C] _ there [D] in [Bm] my detail.
_ _ [C] _
_ [D] Oh, I _ _ [Bm] want to show you your lonely.
