Title: "The Lightning Storm"
Artist: Flogging Molly
Album: Float (2008)
Tabbed by Justin Shaffer (shaffj9086@clarkstate.edu)
Notes: The only other tab that currently exists for this song is missing the intro and
parts, has a couple of wrong chords, and also has some incorrect lyrics. This is the
song, and I'm fairly certain that the lyrics and chords are all 100% correct. Enjoy!

Come hear the men from mothers
