All The Lights      John Stewart
This is the version from "Trancas"(84), where John plays it in E.
I have it in C, so capo on 4th fret if you want to play along with the
cd. The song is also on "Deep in the Neon"(91), where it is part of the
"Never Going Back"-medley (in G there, "spacing" of chords a bit different)
and on "Johnny Moonlight"(00), in D there. I worked out an "accentuate
the bass strings"-accompaniment, based very loosely on what John
plays in the last verse (and partly echoing the background vocals on
that verse). I only use those bass runs for the instrumental parts and
the last verse, playing the same runs throughout would be somewhat
monotonous. To make it easier to see what I mean, I?ll write out one verse
with bass runs first and then add the whole songs with chords only.

Instrumental verse

(C)All the (F)lights  and all the (C)towns
And all the (G)wheels  turning (C)?round,
And all the (F)stars,  if you count ?em (C)down,
They?re less than (G)love  that one heart?s (C)found,
Less than (F)love  (G) that one heart?s (C)found.

And all the (F)songs  that were ever (C)sung
And all the (G)dreams  that keep you (C)young,
And all the (F)bells  that were ever (C)rung,
Are less than (G)love  when one heart?s (C)stung,
Less than (F)love (G) when one heart?s (C)stung.

-Instr. verse-

All the (F)years  and all good-(C)byes
And all the (G)times  that we just don?t (C)try,
And all the (F)dreams  that will never (C)die
Are less than (G)love  where two hearts (C)lie,
Less than (F)love (G) where two hearts (C)lie.

All the (F)lights  and all the (C)towns
And all the (G)wheels  turning (C)?round,
And all the (F)stars,  if you count ?em (C)down,
They?re less than (G)love  that one heart?s (C)found,
Less than (F)love (G) that one heart?s (C)found.
