Chorus "Lights out!"
Just play the opening progression for the chorus except add some muted scrapes across
first 3 strings in between throughout the riff and slight harmonics. If you know what im
about...Listen when he does it. It sounds really cool with the feedback hum.

One of if not the best P.O.D. song. I absolutely love the main riff. Its simple but
so much. This song might also be in Drop C as well but I play it this way anyways as a
version. I think its in Drop D though. Thanks!
