  • Artist:

    Margot And The Nuclear So And Sos

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. 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.

delivering sunbeams.
