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.

And if this town seems too big,

I can see beneath your skin.
It really freaks me out.
I will be your camera's flash
delivering sunbeams.

End song with Cm Chord.
