1952 Vincent Black Lightning
By: Reckless Kelly
Written By: Richard Thompson


Capo on the 3rd fret


G                     C
Said Red Molly to James that's a fine motorbike,
C                   G
A girl could feel special on any such like
G                       C
Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you
C                 G
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
G    D              C    G
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
D               C        G
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme
G   Am    Am/B C
And he pulled her on behind
C              G
And down to Boxhill they did ride

G                           C
Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
C                      G
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
G                     C
I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
C                    G
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
G    D         C     G
Now I'm 21 years, I might not make 22
D              C       G
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
G   Am     Am/B   C
And If fate should break my stride
C              G
I'll give you my Vincent to ride


G                          C
Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant MacRae
C                      G
For they've taken young James for armed robbery
G                      C
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
C                  G
Come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside
G    D           C         G
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
D                 C       G
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
G   Am    Am/B  C
But he smiled to see her cry
   C              G
Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride


G                            C
Said young James. in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
C                  G
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
G                     C
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeves won't do
C                   G
They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
G     D          C      G
He reached for her hand and he gave her the keys
D              C      G
He said I don't have any further use for these
D             C      G
I see angels and ariels in leather and chrome
D              C    G
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
G    Am      Am/B   C
He gave her one last kiss and died
C               G
And he gave her his Vincent to ride
