Key: A
Introduction:
A D
Said Red Molly to James, that' s a fine motorbike,
D A
A girl could feel special on any such like
A D
Said James to Red Molly, well my hat' s off to you
D A
It' s a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
A E D A
And I' ve seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
E D A
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme
A Bm D
And he pulled her on behind
D A
And down to Boxhill they did ride
A D
Said James to Red Molly, here' s a ring for your right hand
D A
But I' ll tell you in earnest I' m a dangerous man
A D
I' ve fought with the law since I was seventeen
D A
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
E D A
Now I' m 21 years, I might make 22
E D A
And I don' t mind dying, but for the love of you
A Bm D
And if fate should break my stride
D A
I' ll give you my Vincent to ride
A D
Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
D A
For they' ve taken young James Adie for armed robbery
A D
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
D A
Come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside
A E D A
When she came to the hospital, there wasn' t much left
E D A
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
A Bm D
But he smiled to see her cry
D A
Said I' ll give you my Vincent to ride
A D
Said young James in my opinion, there' s nothing in this world
D A
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
A D
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won' t do
D A
They don' t have a soul like a Vincent 52
E D A
And he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
E D A
He said I don' t have any further use for these
E D A
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
E D A
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
Bm D
He gave her one last kiss and died
D A
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.
