Light Up Ahead Guitar Tabs by Further Seems Forever

Artist: Further Seems Forever
Song: "Light Up Ahead"
Album: Hide Nothing (08.17.2004)
Tuning: Drop D

I'm really surprised no one else got this first... Super easy and super
awesome with the right guitar effects. Sounds best on electric, still
half-decent on acoustic.

Intro/Verse

Guitar 1 - Lead Guitar

(This is the best I can make out from the intro... I picked a repeating
point (* = repeating point) for everyone to use to start the song and then
you can loop it as much as you want to)

E|-----------------------------------*-----------|
B|---3-4-4-4-4-3-4-4-4-4-4/6-6-6-6-6/3-4-4-4-4---|
G|-----------------------------------------------|
d|-----------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------|

Guitar Two - Power chords and fill

(There is lots of extra lead guitar being played around during the verse,
I recommend either use the Intro to replace it, or wait awhile and I'll fix
it later. Guitar two should use major, heavy distortion for effect. If you
actually use distortion, only one of each chord is nessacery. Otherwise,
feel free to fill it in with short strumming.)
