john mayer’s cover of beyonce’s ’xo’ .
played on his tour in australia , apparently the first time he’s performed it .
only had a few versions to listen to , and this may be a bit rough but its around
the mark .

* * * capo 2 * * *

| C Am F | are the chords used in beyonce’s version ,
however it seems john plays it slightly differently ( in verse ) in his cover :

C Cadd9 ( not sure * ) F Am

E | – – 0 – – | | – – 3 – – | | – – 3 – – | | – – 0 – – |
B | – – 1 – – | | – – 1 – – | | – – 1 – – | | – – 1 – – |
G | – – 0 – – | | – – 0 – – | | – – 2 – – | | – – 2 – – |
D | – – 2 – – | | – – 2 – – | | – – 3 – – | | – – 2 – – |
A | – – 3 – – | | – – 3 – – | | – – 3 – – | | – – 0 – – |
E | – – x – – | | – – x – – | | – – x – – | | – – x – – |

before they turn the lights out
before time is run out
baby love me lights out

baby love me lights out
