Every Light In The House Acoustic Steel String
Trace Adkins
Capo 2nd Fret
D-A-G-D-Em
[Intro]
Just finger pick D-A-G-D with hammer pulls on the low root notes during chord changes.
Song Note: (Optional but I think it sounds better---On the A chord just strum E-A-D strings)
D
I told you I d leave a light on
A
In case you ever wanted to come back home
G D A/G
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
D
I took your every word to heart
A
Cause I can't stand us being apart
G A
And just to show how much I really miss ya
[Chorus]
D
Every light in the house is on
A
The backyard's bright as the crack on dawn
G G F#/D Em
The front walk looks like runway lights
A
It s kinda like noon in the dead of night
D
Every light in the house is on
A G F#/D
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Em A D
Every light in the house is on
D
If I should ever start forgetting
A
I ll turn the lights off one by one
G
So you can see that I agree it s over
D
But until then I want you to know
A
If you look south, you ll see a glow
G
That s me waiting at home each night to hold ya
