Lock Up The Night

Text File

Lock Up The Night- very basic version in Drop D

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

1a.
while Steve Rowe sings the line "Lock Up The Night"

E ------|
B ------|
G ------|
D 00-00~|
A 00-00~|
D 00-00~|

1b. (listen to it for the rhytm, it�s easy):

E ---------------|
B ---------------|
G --and----and --|
D 0-----7------5-|
A 0-----7------5-|
D 0-----7------5-|

1c"pray for morning"

E ------|
B ------|
G ------|
D 3~32~1|
A 3~32~1|
D 3~32~1|

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

2a
E --------|
E --------|
B --------|
G --------|
D 7h87~0~5|
A 7h87~0~5|
D 7h87~0~5|

2b
B --------|
G --------|
D 7h87~-22|
A 7h87~-22|
D 7h87~-22|

after the guitar solo (about 1.56) you alternatly play

2a

and

2c
E --------|
E --------|
B --------|
G --------|
D 7h87~0~3|
A 7h87~0~3|
D 7h87~0~3|

When the singing comes in you switch back to playing
2a,2b and so on
