Light Years Away Chords & Tabs
Song only just came out and I havent quite worked everything out exactly yet but this is
of it. Listen to the song for the timing etc. Key at the bottom for the symbols etc.
For the intro just basically hold a G note (doesn't really matter what one, just
get some feedback off it)

Riff 3
From what I can tell here there are 2 guitars harmonising with one playing low and the
high, personally when playing along with the track I think doing the low sounds better
I'll tab both.
Low:
E|---------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------|
G|-----3h5-5---3-5--3\5~~/3~-------------------------|
D|---5-------5------------------3h5-5---3-5--3\5~~---|

I'm not entirely sure on this one, but I think this is roughly it.
E|-----------------------------------------------|

E|-----------------------------------------------|
Play through riffs 1 and 2 again then we have the solo which I haven't worked out fully
so I post that on here when it's completed. Although it's a good one to just jam out to
G.
After the solo we go back through riffs 3, 4 and 5. Then back to 1 and 2 again.
For the ride out:
