Darkness in the alley way At least for some In the sixties flew away Left a few, now there are none But I’ve heard from encounter with the past The gentle creature’s glowing never lasts So won’t someone tell me after all What happened to the fireflies of Montreal? The rest of the song is just a repeat of what I tabbed with the above lyrics. After you listen to the song you should be able to figure out the picking pattern, it’s pretty basic (sort of like a slow than fast kind of thing). Anyway, hope this helps, it’s incredibly lovely to play! --Rachel
