The Son Never Shines (on Closed Doors)

Flogging Molly

- Off of the Drunken Lullabies album. This song kicks ass. I mainly play guitar, but this was an easy first tab to do, and no one else has done it yet. Skip the first verse, come in on the second. "It's been eight long years since I saw" \ G|------------------------------------- \ D|------------------------------------- \ A|--------------------3---------------- \ E|----3-----------------------------3-- \ \ "The woman who's labored" \ G|----------------------- \ D|----------------------- \ A|---------------3------- \ E|---3------------------- | | "Since the day I was born." | G|------------------------- | D|-------------------0----- | A|------------------------- | E|---------3--------------- | | "These wrinkles now face" | G|----------------------- } Verse pattern.
