Flogging Molly - The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)
Off of the Drunken Lullabies album.
This song kicks ass. I mainly play guitar, but this was an easy first tab to do, and no one else has done it yet.
Skip the first verse, come in on the second.

Lyrics -
I saw her there from afar?
Her hair grey charcoal?
Takes a drag from her tar?
I kissed her a smile?
But her blood red shot eye?
Said the son never shines on closed doors?
It's been eight long years since I saw?
The woman who's labored?
Since the day I was born?
These wrinkles now face?
To that cold dark damp place?
Where the son never shines on closed doors?
She said the son never shines on closed doors?
I open to find only hurricanes blow?
Take me away back to the green fields of May?
Because the son never shines on closed doors?
Death comes like a thief in the night?
To steal while you sleep?
The soul's flickering light?
Well maybe it's then?
She said, I'll see you again?
Because the son never shines on closed doors?
She said the son never shines on closed doors?
I open to find only hurricanes blow?
Take me away back to the green fields of May?
Because the son never shines on closed doors?
And we all go the same way home?
Yeah we all go the same way home
