1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Richard Thompson
Key : Bb
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A#5 | Gm/A | Gm | A#/D | A#/C | A#5 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    A#5                                A#/D C7sus4 D#
Oh, says Red Molly to James, "That's a fine motorbike
                                      A#5
A girl could feel special on any such like"
                             A#/D  C7sus4   D#
Says James to Red Molly, "My hat's off   to you
                                    A#5
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
         F5                          D#        A#5
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes, it seems
F5                             D#             A#5
Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme"
       Cm              D#
And he pulled her on behind
                                  A#5
And down to Boxhill that they did ride

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A#5                                      Gm7      Fsus4     D#
  Oh, says James to Red Molly, "Here's a ring for your right hand
                                              A#5
But I'll tell you in earnest, I'm a dangerous man
                                     A#/D         D#
For I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
                                        A#5
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
F5                                   D#         A#5
And now I'm twentyone years, I might make twentytwo
      F5                   D#              A#5
And I don't mind dying but for the love of you
       Cm                  D#
And if fate should break my stride
                                 A#5
Then I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

[Bridge]
---------------------
D# | A#5 | Gm/A | Gm | A#/D | A#/C 
A#5

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      A#5                                            D#
"Come down, come down, Red Molly," called Sergeant McRae
                                                   A#5
"For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
                                  Gm7 Fsus4  D#
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left no_thing inside
                                          A#5
Oh, come down, Red Molly, to his dying bedside"
         F5                          D#          A#5
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
       F5                          D#             A#5
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
       Cm                D#
But he smiled to see her cry
                                       A#5
And said, "I'll give you my Vincent to ride"

[Verse 4]
---------------------
     A#5                            A#/D    C7sus4     D#
Says James, "In my opinion, there's nothing in    this world
                                    A#5
Beats a '52 Vincent and a redheaded girl
                            Gm7 Fsus4       D#
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do
                                            A#5
Ah, they don't have a soul like a Vincent '52"
       F5                          D#                  A#5
Oh, he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
      F5                   D#      A#5
Said, "I've got no further use for these
      F5                  D#          A#5
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
F5                           D#       A#5
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
       Cm                         D#
And he gave her one last kiss and died
                               A#5
And he gave her his Vincent to ride

[Outro]
