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: Em (x00231) A7 (x20031) Am* (x1003x) Dm (x35543) B (x02220) Am (355333) Em* (x57743)

       A7       Am*
our chicago luck

Dm                            B
and we will dance

                                Em
on broken sheets of glass

      A7          Em
to make our point.
(Chorus)
Am                    Dm
and if this town seems too big

 A7                         Am*              Am
if the traffic freaks you out
