In The Light Tab

10,648 views, added to favorites 599 times
This tablature is mostly dead-on with the studio recording. Verified by watching Wesley Schultz perform the song in live video. I came up with the song structure naming, so it may not be correct, but should be easy to follow. A lot of the strumming and timing will have to be determined by listening to the song, as noted within the tabs.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: A
Capo: no capo
