A D
Said Red Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike,
D A
A girl could feel special on any such like
A D
Said James to Red Molly, well my hat's off to you
D A
It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
A E D A
And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems
ED A
Red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme
ABm D
And he pulled her on behind
D A
And down to Boxhill they did ride
[Verse 2]
AD
Said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
D A
But I'll tell you in earnest I'm a dangerous man
AD
I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
D A
I robbed many a man to get my Vincent machine
E DA
Now I'm 21 years, I might make 22
E D A
And I don't mind dying, but for the love of you
ABm D
And if fate should break my stride
D A
I'll give you my Vincent to ride
[Verse 3]
A D
Come down, come down, Red Molly, called Sergeant McRae
D A
For they've taken young James Adie for armed robbery
A D
Shotgun blast hit his chest, left nothing inside
DA
Come down, Red Molly to his dying bedside
A E DA
When she came to the hospital, there wasn't much left
E D A
He was running out of road, he was running out of breath
ABm D
But he smiled to see her cry
D A
Said I'll give you my Vincent to ride
[Verse 4]
A D
Said young James in my opinion, there's nothing in this world
DA
Beats a 52 Vincent and a red headed girl
A D
Now Nortons and Indians and Greeveses won't do
D A
They don't have a soul like a Vincent 52
E D A
And he reached for her hand and he slipped her the keys
E D A
He said I don't have any further use for these
E DA
I see angels on Ariels in leather and chrome
E D A
Swooping down from heaven to carry me home
Bm D
He gave her one last kiss and died
DA
And he gave her his Vincent to ride.
