Light It Up Chords & Tabs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Light It Up - Sing It Loud
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Eric A.
Tuning: Drop D
This song has a lot of little fills and stuff that would've been a bitch to
tab out. I put all the main stuff up top and all the little fills (the ones
I could pick out anyway...) at the bottom. I'm 99% sure that the main stuff
is right. If you can help me out with the fills, leave a comment! Enjoy!
Oh, and for the most part I didn't show the timing, but it's not hard to
figure out.
Verse 1:
Intro/main riff
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------7--------7------7------7--------------------------------------------|
A|-----5-------5-------5------5----------------------------------------------|
D|---9------5--------7------7------------------------------------------------|
This is played throughout the song. There are parts where they'll drop a
note or two, but this is the basic riff.
Chorus:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---9---5---0---7-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|---9---5---0---7-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|---9---5---0---7-----------------------------------------------------------|
Verse 2:
Play the main riff.
A second guitar is palm muting these chords in the background:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---9---5---7---------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---9---5---7---------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---9---5---7---------------------------------------------------------------|
. . .
Solo:
The background guitar is the same as the chorus. Throw some vibratos on
some of these notes:

The bridge uses the same chords as the second verse (9,5,7 are the roots on
the low D string).
