Bad Light Chords
Bad Light by Paradise Motel is a beginner-friendly guitar song played in the key of Am. It uses the chords Am and Dm. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
It May be pointless transcribing the guitar for a band whose sound
relies on instrumentation, but
here it is anyway. :)
No rhythm shown (buy the CD to get the rhythm. You Will NOT be
disappointed)
1st guitar
e-|-0-1-
B-|-1-1-
G-|-2-2-
D-|-2-2- (Played until the lyrics start, and again after "smile hung
A-|-0-0- Like a leaden charm")
E-|-----
Mucking around with a screwdriver creates that eerie slide effect thingy
played on another guitar.
Bass Bit
Intro and most of song
G-|------|-----2-----
D-|------|----2-2----
A-|-5b-0-|-0h3---3-0-
E-|------|----------- (this is guess at best as it is barely audible)
No guitar through first half of verse
After "Bad light followed all the way" (this happens twice) Am Dm played
w/distortion with similar
rhythm to intro.
Back to Riff 1 at "The stink of salvation.."
At "Pretty flowers on her grave" an electric guitar plays an Am Barre
chord with some raking.
Then to Am Dm.
This is hardly complete but its a start.
