Creeping Coastline of Lights
Right buckos - this is pretty easy really. Put your guitar in drop tuning (all strings
one half step). This means that all the chords appear one fret higher than normal. The
are Gm, D# and A#.
Verse
The verse is just one run in Gm over and over:
------------------------4--------------------------|
---------------------------4-----------------------|
------------------4-----------4--------------------|
--------------6-------------------6----------------|
----------6----------------------------------------|
------4--------------------------------------------|
Chorus
The chorus simply extends this run by adding the D# and A# chords as follows:

Solo
There isn’t really a solo in this song – however, there are several guitar breaks. These
in the Gm natural scale. The obvious example, repeated several times, is:
D-----8-8--7--5-5-5-----------------------------------------------------|
A-----------------------3-5--3-5----------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------3-3-------------------------------|
However, I would suggest that just by staying in the Gm natural scale (and possibly
scale), you will be able to improvise fairly well over the song.
