Lock Up The Night Tabs

(ver. 1)
Mortification
Lock Up The Night- very basic version in Drop D

I didn´t tab out the solo and I don´t claim to show
exactly how they play it but this tab sounds good
played along with the album so I think it´s worth posting.
Drop your low E string 2 half-steps for this song.
(Please ignore if some  appear, i don´t know what this is)

1a.
while Steve Rowe sings the line "Lock Up The Night"

2.Now the part with the strange time meter. You might need to listen a few times to get 
rhytm. It´s not really difficult
but it´s really odd if you haven´t played stuff like this.
It first comes in without vocals and continues while the part
"Take the day now for the Lord" is sung.

2a
E --------|
E --------|
