Northern Lights

Tabbed by: Declan Hyland
Email: *

Tuning: Standard eBGDAE


This is my first tab so if it's hard to read, it means I haven't gotten the hang of this yet.

I haven't finished tabbing the lead bits and solos, so I've included the start and end
the solo, and a few lead bits. It seems to be based on the G major/minor pentatonics anyway.


Guitar 1: Acoustic
Guitar 2: Rhythm Electric
Guitar 3: Lead Electric


Bridge: Guitar 1

We took the easy way out
