52 vincent black lightning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Red Money
Send red money to James
That's a fine motor[C]bike
A girl could feel special
on any [G]such light
Said James to Red Muddy,
my hat's off to [C]you
That's a Vincent Black Lightning, [G]1952
And I've [D]seen you at corners
and [C]cafes it [G]seems
Red [D]hair and black leather,
[C]my favorite color [G]scheme
And he [Am]put her o[C]n behind
And down to Buck's Hill they did [G]ride
Said James, two red mallets,
a ring for your right [C]hand
But I'll tell you in earnest,
I'm a dangerous [G]man
For I've fought with the law
since I was seventeen
[C]I've robbed many a man
to get my Vincent machine
[G]Now I'm 21 [D]years old
but I'm [C]age [G]22
[D]Don't mind dying but [C]for the love of you
[G]And if age[Am] bre[C]ak my stride
Then I'll give you my Vincent to [G]ride
Come down, come down, Red Molly,
said Sergeant [C]McRae
For they've taken young James
Eighty for round robbery
[G]Shotgun blast to the chest,
left nothing in[C]side
Oh, come down, Red Molly,
to his dying bed[G]side
When [D]she got to the hospital,
there [C]wasn't much left
[G]He was runnin[D]g out of road,
[C]he was running out of [G]breath
But [Am]he smiled to [C]see her cry
Said, I'll give you my Vincent to [G]drive
Said, [C]James, [G]in my opinion,
there's nothing in this [C]world
It's fifty -two Benson
and a red -headed [G]girl
The nuns and minions
and grievances won't [C]do
They don't have a soul
like a Benson fifty -t[G]wo
And [D]he reached for a hand
and [C]he slipped her the key[G]s
Said, I've [D]got no further [C]use of [G]these
I see [D]angels on aerials
in [C]leather and chrome
[G]Swoopin'[D] down from
heaven to [C]carry me [G]home
And he [Am]gave her one [C]last kiss and died
And he gave her his Vincent
to [G]ride[G][G]
[G]
You
