_ Says Red Molly to James, that's a fine [C] motorbike
_ A girl could feel special on any [G] such like
Says James to Red Molly, my hat's off to you
_ It's a Vincent Black Lightning _ _ 1952
And I've seen [Dm] you on the corners [C] and [G] cafes it seems
Red [D] hair and black leather, [G] my favourite colour scheme
_ And he pulled her [C] on behind, _ _ and down to Box Hill _ _ _ [G] they'd ride
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Says James to Red Molly, here's a ring for [C] your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest, I'm a dangerous [G] man _
For I've fought with the law since I was [C] seventeen
_ I've robbed many a man to get my Vincent [G] machine
_ [D] And now I'm twenty-one [C] years, I might make [G] twenty-two
[D] And I don't mind dying, [C] but for the [G] love of you
_ [Am] And if fate [G] should [C] break my stride
_ Then I'll give you my Vincent [G] to ride

Calm down, calm down Red Molly, called [C] Sergeant McQuaid
For they've taken young James Eighty for armed [G] robbery
_ _ Shotgun blast, hit his chest, left [C] nothing in sight
[G] _
Oh come [C] down Red Molly, to his dying [G] _
bedside
[D] When she came to the hospital, [C] there wasn't [G] much left
[D] He was running out of road, [G] he [C] was running [G] out of breath
[Am] But he smiled [G] to [C] see her cry
_ _ Said I'll [G] give you my Vincent _ to ride _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Says James, in my opinion, there's nothing [C] in this world
Beats a fifty-two Vincent and a red [G]-headed girl _
Now Nortons and Indians and Greaveses [C]
won't do
_ Oh they don't have a soul like a Vincent [G] fifty-two
[D] Well he reached for her hand [C] and he slipped [G] her the keys
[D] He said I've got no further [G] _ use for these
[D] I see angels on [C] aerials in leather [G] and chrome
[D] Slooping down from [C] heaven to carry [G] me _ home _
_ And he gave her one last [C] kiss and [G] died
_ And he gave her his Vincent to ride
