Band- Margot and the Nuclear So & So's
Song- I Am a Lightning Rod
Album- Animal!/ Daytrotter Sessions EP
Tabber: Jon Green
The tab is based more off of the Daytrotter Session song and a cover video
online where its just Richard playing the guitar. I don’t know the
technical chords name so sorry if they are a bit confusing. But let me know
what you think. If you find mistakes I will gladly change them for you.I had
trouble with the bridge after the second chorus so I think that I am wrong
at that part. Listen to the song to get the rhythm down other than that
this is a pretty simple song. Most of the song has the base note of each
chord picked before strumming the rest of it. Anyways have fun.
