Lights Down Chords & Tabs
Hi there, this is Lights Down by Sons of Mercury, there is a few variations
on how to play the verse and the chorus but im 100% sure its correct. Where
there is two tabs joined by the ends the top tab is one variation and the
bottom tab the other (just like two guitars). Credit goes out to my guitar
teacher for helping me with this tab.
