The Sun Never Shines
By Flogging Molly

Capo on 5th fret.  All fret numbers relative to the capo.
Also to avoid confusion this tab names chords as if there is no capo.
(See footnote for musically accurate chord names)

Verse:

There are only three chords in the song:
    D5      G5      A5
e---2------3------0- | 
B---3------3------2- | 
G---2------0------2- | 
D---0------0------2- | 
A---0------2------0- | 
E---2------3------0- | 

A nice effect is to only play the top four strings (D,G,B,e) in the first verse,
then add in the bass notes for the rest of the song.

D5         G5           D5
I saw her there from afar
                 G5
Her hair gray charcoal
        D5             A5
Takes a drag from her tar
  G5            A5
I kissed her a smile
        D5              G5
But her blood red shot eye
                   A5                D5
Said the sun never shines on closed doors


Chorus:
             G5                          D5
She said the sun never shines on closed doors
  G5                 D5          A5
I open to find only hurricanes blowin'
G5        A5               D5               G5
Take me away back to the green fields of May
            A5                          G5
Because the sun never shines on closed doors

That?s it!  Enjoy!
