Title: "The Lightning Storm" Artist: Flogging Molly Album: Float (2008) Tabbed by Justin Shaffer (shaffj9086@clarkstate.edu) 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 This lonely ex^Fistence pav^Ces the way ^Am For the ^Gheart of hearts must ^Fbeat be brave ^Am While this ^Fquiet light^Cning storm ^Am Wrecks the ^Gharvest gold we ^Ftry to sow

Chorus 1:

And so it ^Cbegins The ^Emway the blood still ^Fdances Ben^Ceath the skin As the ^Emmessenger from ^FHell says "W^Ce're bound to win" As the ^Gdays they come, but the ^Fyears they go So t^Amake care of your ^Ffreedom They'll ne^Cver know

Interlude: Am G Am C G Am Verse 2:

^Am I sit on the ^Fwing for a black^Cbird's song ^Am To tell me ^Gwhere and when this ^Fall went wrong ^Am There's no reso^Flution with^Cout remorse ^Am With ignorance ^Gbliss defend "L^Fet's stay the course"

Chorus 2:

Puncture ^Cthe skin And ^Emsee its blood run ^Fcold On d^Cesert sand Come ^Emhear the men from ^Fmothers With c^Childless hands As the ^Gdays they come, but the ^Fyears they go So ^Amtake care of your ^Ffreedom They'll ne^Cver know So take good ^Amcare of your ^Ffreedom They'll never ^Amknow

Bridge: F C Am F C Am F C Am F C Chorus 3:

Take what ^Cyou give Un^Emtil there's nothing ^Fleft But for^Cever live And ^Emnight descends on ^Fshadows with^Cout their kill As the ^Gdays they come, but the ^Fyears they go So ^Amtake care of your ^Ffreedom They'll ne^Cver know Yeah take good ^Amcare of your ^Ffreedom They'll never ^Amknow

Outro: Am

But the ^Gdays they come, but the ^Fyears they go So take ^Amcare of your ^Ffreedom They'll never ^Cknow
