This is my first tab, and I've made significant changes based off of a tutorial video by Alex Haitz (Thank you, Alex!) Google "How to play 'light year' by Gregory Alan Isakov." He explains it really well. G/C Riff: Down: G: 3x0003; Up: hammer on to 3x0213, then G/C: 3x0013, hammer on 3x2013 Also, Cmaj7/G: 332000 [Intro] G/C riff (4x) [Verse 1]
G          Em
I woke you up

A/D               G/C
With poetry and stones

G                  Em
The ragged and the bones

A/D                 G/C
Strewn around the room
[Verse 2]
G        Em
I recall

A/D         G/C
Another hazy may

Em                   G
Take a round in the ring

     A/D              G/C
Gone hungry for the win...
G/C riff (2x) [Chorus 1] G/C G (hammer on 2nd fret on G string) Here’s the part I just lose everything
G/C                                     Em     G   Em   G/C
And I cracked a spark just to hear you sing...sing

Em   G   G/C
Sing...
G/C riff (4x) [Verse 3]
G         Em
I took it out

A/D                  G/C
The papers and the trash

G              Em
Old among the cans

A/D                    G/C
This golden love gone bad
[Verse 4]
G         Em
Shined it up

A/D            G/C
Aiming at the Sun

       Em              G
Just a light year from us

      A/D                 G/C
Hop a cab ride and we’re off...
G/C riff (2x) [Chorus 2] G/C G (hammer on 2nd fret on G string) And all the ravens came along to play
G/C                                  Em   G   Em   G/C
The simple notes you sang just went astray

Em   G   G/C
Astray...
[Bridge]
Am              Am               D7
Everything was up, it’s coming down

Am              Am               D7
Everything was up, it’s coming down

Cmaj7/G           Em           Cmaj7/G
Coming down,   coming,   coming down,   coming...
[Outro] G/C riff (2x) G/C riff (2x) Everything we ever wanted, (End on G) Is you
