-Flashing Lights
+tabbed by Rosa, alternate tuning by Mike
--tabbed by mike
+To replicate the recording, tune your low E string 4.5 steps down, all the way down to a low G.
+This is the low drone that alternates with everything.
+Here's the main riff, it's all basically a G chord (02000x).
+Feel free to mess around on the last part, he's rarely consistent in the recording and often cuts it short.
