Lock Up The Night Tab

   
Lock Up The Night- very basic version in Drop D

I didnīt tab out the solo and I donīt claim to show
exactly how they play it but this tab sounds good
played along with the album so I think itīs worth posting.
Drop your low E string 2 half-steps for this song.
(Please ignore if some  appear, i donīt know what this is)

2.Now the part with the strange time meter. You might need to listen a few times to get 
rhytm. Itīs not really difficult
but itīs really odd if you havenīt played stuff like this.
It first comes in without vocals and continues while the part
"Take the day now for the Lord" is sung.
