xTitle: "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: Am G Am C G Am Verse 1: Am F C This lonely existence paves the way Am G F For the heart of hearts must beat be brave Am F C While this quiet lightning storm Am G F Wrecks the harvest gold we try to sow Chorus 1: C And so it begins Em F The way the blood still dances C Beneath the skin Em F As the messenger from Hell says C "We're bound to win" G F As the days they come, but the years they go Am F So take care of your freedom C They'll never know Interlude: Am G Am C G Am Verse 2: Am F C I sit on the wing for a blackbird's song Am G F To tell me where and when this all went wrong Am F C There's no resolution without remorse Am G With ignorance bliss defend F "Let's stay the course" Chorus 2: C Puncture the skin Em F And see its blood run cold C On desert sand Em F Come hear the men from mothers C With childless hands G F As the days they come, but the years they go Am F So take care of your freedom C They'll never know Am F So take good care of your freedom Am They'll never know Bridge: F C Am F C Am F C Am F C Chorus 3: C Take what you give Em F Until there's nothing left C But forever live Em F C And night descends on shadows without their kill G F As the days they come, but the years they go Am F So take care of your freedom C They'll never know Am F Yeah take good care of your freedom Am They'll never know Outro: Am G F But the days they come, but the years they go Am F So take care of your freedom C They'll never know
