Alright y'all, we're gonna do a song right now written by a guy named Richard Thompson from Yale, Maryland, England.
[Am]
One of our favorite things to play is a [D#] song about two of my favorite things in the whole wide [A] world, which are [N] motorcycles and redheads.
This is called 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.
Here's our thing.

[E] [A]
[E] They ran black and blue [A] in my favorite color scheme
And [Bm] he pulled her [D] on behind
And down to the box hill
[A] They did it right
Stead of chains, to Red Molly
He's a ranker, [D] you're right-handed
But I tell you now, I'm a [A] dangerous man
For I fought with the laws since I was [D] seventeen
And I robbed many men to get my Vincent [A] machine
[E] Now I'm 21, I might [D] not make [A] 22
[E] But I don't mind dying [D] before I [A] love you
[Bm] And if it [D] breaks my stride
I'll give you my Vincent
[A] Some cheap thrash
Come down, come down, Red Molly
Outside [D] Jenny Gray
They're taking your chains, they belong right [A] away
Shotgun blast in his chest
Left [D] nothing inside
Woke from down, Red Molly
To his dying [A] bedside
[E] She came to the hospital, [D] there wasn't [A] much left
[E] He was running out of rope, [D] he was running [A] out of breath
[Bm] But he smiled [F#m] to [D] see her cry
Said I'll give you my Vincent
[A] Well
[D]
[A]
says the old chains in my opinion
Well there's nothing [D] in this world
But Vincent 52, Vincent and Red [A] Acre
I only noticed that Indians and Greeks have [D] swung low
Well they don't have a soul like Vincent [A] 52
But [E] he reached for her hand [D] and he slipped [A] her in the keys
[E] He said I got no [D] further use [A] for these
I see [E] angels, [D] virgins, and [A] lilies in a crown
[E] Slipping out from heaven [D] to [A] carry me home
[Bm] And he gave her the [D] last kiss and died
And he gave her Vincent some [A] cheap thrash
