LET THE LORD SHINE A LIGHT ON ME - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Will Buxton
My first tab, so I hope you enjoy.
Tuning: Standard
But as with so many Gallagher songs... Capo on 2nd Fret
Guys, this is the easiest song to play as it essentially revolves around three chords.
There are two ways of playing each chord, and you can just play around with which
version you're happiest with for the verse of instrumental / Great Gig in the Sky vocal bit.
Here's the verse
When I feel like a drop in the ocean, But there's no-one else at sea
e|-----0--------------------------0------------------0------------0-----------|
B|-----0--------------------------0------------------0------------0-----------|
G|-----2--------------------------6------------------2------------6-----------|
D|-----3--------------------------7------------------3------------7-----------|
A|-----3--------------------------7------------------3------------7-----------|
E|-----1--------------------------5------------------1------------1-----------|
And my body's bent and broken, Let the Lord Shine a Light on me
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/n/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds/298293.html ]
e|-----0----------------0---------------0------------0--------0----|
B|-----0----------------0---------------0------------0--------0----|
G|-----2----------------6---------------4------------2--------6----|
D|-----3----------------7---------------5------------3--------7----|
A|-----3----------------7---------------5------------3--------7----|
E|-----1----------------5---------------3------------1--------5----|
Repeat for second part of verse
Instrumental / female vocal break
e|---0---0---0---| x 3 e|---0---0---0---| x 1
B|---0---0---0---| B|---0---0---0---|
G|---2---4---6---| G|---4---2---6---|
D|---3---5---7---| D|---5---3---7---|
A|---3---5---7---| A|---5---3---7---|
E|---1---3---5---| E|---3---1---5---|
Repeat
Then the verse comes back in and that's about it.
The replacement chords for what are essentially the three open bar chords in F, G and A shape are
For the F shape
0
1
2
3
3
x
For the G shape
0
3
4
5
5
x
And for A... just play an A
0
2

2
0
x
And that's that. See, told you it was easy. Play around with the chords.
You may prefer the weightier sound of the open bar chords for the instrumental break
and to use the alternative fingering for the verse, or vice versa. The choice is yours. It's
such an open song, you can just play around with the chords and make it your own.
Enjoy
