E|---3--------------------------------------1----3----5----3-1---|
C|---0--------------------------------------0----0----0----0-0---|

But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
A|---0---------------------------------------------3-------------|
E|---1---------------------------------------------3-------------|

E|---3--------------------------------------1----3----5----3-1---|
C|---0--------------------------------------0----0----0----0-0---|

I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine

Now I'm twenty-one years, I might make twenty-two

Oh, come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside"

A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|

A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|

E|--5-------------------7--1----3----0----3-1---|
C|--5-------------------7--0----0----5----0-0---|

[Verse 4]
Says James, "In my opinion, there's nothing in this world

C|---0--------------------------------------0----0----0----0-0---|

Beats a '52 Vincent and a red-headed girl
A|---0---------------------------------------------3-------------|
E|---1---------------------------------------------3-------------|

C|---0--------------------------------------0----0----0----0-0---|

They don't have a soul like a Vincent '52"
A|---0--------------------------------------3--------------------|
E|---1--------------------------------------3--------------------|
C|---0--------------------------------------0--------------------|
G|---2--------------------------------------0--------------------|
He reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|
He said "I've got no further use for these
A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home"
A|--2-----------------------0---------------------3-----|
E|--3-----------------------1---------------------3-----|
C|--2-----------------------0---------------------0-----|
G|--0-----------------------2---------------------0-----|
And he gave her one last kiss and died

E|--5-------------------7--1----3----0----3-1---|
C|--5-------------------7--0----0----5----0-0---|
