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!

Am G Am C G Am

Verse 1:
Am (x02210@1)             F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)  This lonely existence paves the way

    Em (022000@1)                FThe (133211@1)way the blood still dances
   CBeneath (x32010@1)the skin
       Em (022000@1)           FAs (133211@1)the messenger from Hell says

       G (320003@1)                     FAs (133211@1)the days they come, but the years they go

Am (x02210@1)            F (133211@1)             C (x32010@1)  I sit on the wing for a blackbird's song
Am (x02210@1)          G (320003@1)                 F (133211@1)  To tell me where and when this all went wrong
Am (x02210@1)              F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)  There's no resolution without remorse
