Band- Margot and the Nuclear So & So's Song- I Am a Lightning Rod Album- Animal!/ Daytrotter Sessions EP Tabber: Jon Green The tab is based more off of the Daytrotter Session song and a cover video online where its just Richard playing the guitar. I don’t know the technical chords name so sorry if they are a bit confusing. But let me know what you think. If you find mistakes I will gladly change them for you.I had trouble with the bridge after the second chorus so I think that I am wrong at that part. Listen to the song to get the rhythm down other than that this is a pretty simple song. Most of the song has the base note of each chord picked before strumming the rest of it. Anyways have fun. Chord Shapes: Dm (x00231) G7 (x20031) Gm* (x1003x) Cm (x35543) A (x02220) Gm (355333) Dm* (x57743)
