Leave It On by Delorentos.
This is a song from their first album, In Love With Detail, and it consists of two
guitar parts as well as bass, drums and vocals.
It's one of Ronan's songs, and one of my favourites by the band.
All the parts are simple enough really! Listen to the song for the rhythm and all.
This is based on the album version, the one from In Love With Detail.
There are a couple of versions going around Youtube that don't have some of these parts,
like the C octave through some parts, but it's all there on the album!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
Ronan (I think) plays this 6 times throughout the intro:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|-5-------5--------|
D|------------------|
A|----3-3-----3-3---|
E|------------------|
After the second time, Kieran comes in with this twice:
e|-12--12------------------12--12-----------------|
B|---13----------------------13-------------------|
G|--------14-14-14-14-14----------12-12-12-12-12--|
D|------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse:
Ronan plays the same riff throughout the verse:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|-5-------5--------|
D|------------------|
A|----3-3-----3-3---|
E|------------------|
When the vocals come in, Kieran plays a C octave to the beat of Ronan's riff:
e|-8--8-8---8--8-8--|
B|-x--x-x---x--x-x--|
G|-5--5-5---5--5-5--|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
Except when it gets to the line "When we move in time with the music..." he starts
strumming it straight through:
e|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--|
B|-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--|
G|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-chorus:
You could say this is part of the verse, but I'd call it the pre-chorus. This is the
part that goes "So if you gotta go, will you leave it on?"
Judging from who plays the other parts, I'd say Ronan plays this bit:
"So if you gotta go, will you leave it on?"

While Kieran plays the C octave over this as well:
"So if you gotta go, will you leave it on?"
e|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|

Chorus:
Ronan. Getting tired of typing out how many times you do it, so I'll just put the number
and you can hear how many times it needs playing:
e|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|-5--------7--------9--------10------9---------|
D|-x-(x16)--x-(x16)--x-(x16)--x-(x8)--x-(x8)----|
A|-3--------5--------7--------8-------7---------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5--------7--------9--------10------9-9-9-9-10-9-10-9--|
D|-x-(x16)--x-(x16)--x-(x16)--x-(x8)--x-x-x-x--x-x--x-x--|
A|-3--------5--------7--------8-------7-7-7-7--8-7--8-7--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|
Kieran plays this over it, the first little riff is played five times, then a slight
pause, and then played again.
This is done 3 times, so a total of 15 times before the last part of the riff each time:
e|-3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----------5--3--1--0-1-0--|
B|---6-5---6-5---6-5---6-5---6-5--(x3)-----------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
e|-3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----------3--5--3--5--3--0-0-0-0-1-1-0|
B|---6-5---6-5---6-5---6-5---6-5--(x3)-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back into the verse, then.
Pre-chorus.
Chorus.
Bridge? :
Ronan:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--7-7--7-7--7-7--7-7--9-9--9-9--9-9--9-9--|
D|-x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--|
A|-3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--7-7--7-7--7-7--7-7--|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|-1010--1010--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--|
D|-x-x---x-x---x--x--x--x--x--x--x--x---|
A|-8-8---8-8---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--|
E|--------------------------------------|
And over that Kieran plays the C octave again, to the same beat as the other guitar:
e|-8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--8-8--|
B|-x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--x-x--|
G|-5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--5-5--|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-8-8--8-8----8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--|
B|-x-x--x-x----x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x--|
G|-5-5--5-5----5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--|
D|------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|
Then it goes into the "Beautiful time right now" bit, but you just play the same thing
as in the chorus for it.
It ends with Ronan's original riff, and Kieran's guitar is just letting the high e
string ring out (or the B at the 5th fret, but more likely the e string):
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|-5-------5--------|
D|------------------|
A|----3-3-----3-3---|
E|------------------|
End.
