Verse 1
D 
Said Red Molly to James,
G 
that's a fine motorbike.
A girl could feel special
D 
on any such light.
So James, Red Molly,
G 
my hat's off to you
D 
It's Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
A 
And I've seen you in corners
G 
D 
and cafes and seams
A 
Red hair, red black leather,
G 
my favorite color scheme
D 
Em 
G 
And he pulled her on behind
D 
Down to Knoxville they did ride
Said James to Red Molly
G 
Here's a ring for your right hand
But I'll tell you in earnest
D 
I'm a dangerous man
I've fought with the law
since I was seventeen
G 
And I robbed many a man
to get my Vincent machine
D 
A 
But now I'm twenty -one,
G 
I might make twenty -two
D 
A 
And I don't mind dying
G 
D 
for the love of you
Em 
And if they should break my stride
G 
Then I'll give you my Benson
D 
G 
D 
to ride
G 
D 
Come down, come down, Molly,
G 
call Sergeant McRae
They've taken young James
Eighty for armed robbery
D 
Shotgun blast through the chest,
G 
left nothing inside
Come down, come down, Molly,
D 
to his dying bedside
A 
When she came to the hospital
G 
D 
there wasn't much left
A 
He was running out of rope,
G 
D 
he was running out of breath
Em 
G 
But he smiled to see her cry
D 
He said, I'll give you for Vincent to ride
Well, said James, in my opinion,
G 
there's nothing in this world
that beats a Vincent Black Lightning
D 
and a red -headed girl.
While Norton's an Indian
G 
from Graysville, too,
they don't have the soul
of a Vincent 52.
D 
A 
Then he reached for her hand
G 
D 
and he slipped her the keys
A 
G 
D 
Said, don't have any further use for these
Em 
I see angels and aerials
G 
D 
and leather and chrome
Em 
Coming down from heaven
D 
to carry me home
Em 
G 
And he gave her one last kiss and died
