Title: "The Lightning Storm" Artist: Flogging Molly Album: Float (2008) Tabbed by Justin Shaffer ([email protected]) Notes: The only other tab that currently exists for this song is missing the intro and parts, has a couple of wrong chords, and also has some incorrect lyrics. This is the song, and I'm fairly certain that the lyrics and chords are all 100% correct. Enjoy!
Intro: AmGAmCGAm
Verse 1: AmFC This lonely existence paves the way AmGF For the heart of hearts must beat be brave AmFC While this quiet lightning storm AmGF Wrecks the harvest gold we try to sow
Chorus 1: C And so it begins EmF The way the blood still dances C Beneath the skin EmF As the messenger from Hell says C "We're bound to win" GF As the days they come, but the years they go AmF So take care of your freedom C They'll never know
Interlude: AmGAmCGAm
Verse 2: AmFC I sit on the wing for a blackbird's song AmGF To tell me where and when this all went wrong AmFC There's no resolution without remorse AmG With ignorance bliss defend F "Let's stay the course"
Chorus 2: C Puncture the skin EmF And see its blood run cold C On desert sand EmF Come hear the men from mothers C With childless hands GF As the days they come, but the years they go AmF So take care of your freedom C They'll never know AmF So take good care of your freedom Am They'll never know
Bridge: FC AmFC AmFC AmFC
Chorus 3: C Take what you give EmF Until there's nothing left C But forever live EmFC And night descends on shadows without their kill GF As the days they come, but the years they go AmF So take care of your freedom C They'll never know AmF Yeah take good care of your freedom Am They'll never know
Outro: Am
GF But the days they come, but the years they go AmF So take care of your freedom C They'll never know
