If you see that something is wrong, feel free to correct me. I'd love to see some
alternate versions of this song.
Listen to the song for the strumming. I tabbed this from the Andrew Jackson Jihad
version, so there might be some
minor differences compared to the Ghost Mice version. Love both bands, and the song.
[D]The best years of his life is [A]what he gave to you[G]
[D]Never late a day he's been [A]faithful and [G]true
[D]putting out the tombstones and d[A]igging down the [G]graves
[D]for over thirty years now and I [A]can't believe you have[G] the nerve to[Em] say
That now you're [G]gonna have to cut his [D]pay
'cause one of your[A] priests did suc[G]h an awf[D]ul thing
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/ghost_mice/lightning_bolt_crd.html )
[D]Lightning bolt oh lightning bolt why [A]don't you strike them[G] down
[D]for what they did they deserve to be a [A]black spot on the [G]ground
[D]And if there is a god living [A]up there in the[G] clouds
[D]I can't imagine a better time to [A]show his[G] wrath tha[Em]n now
Somehow these monsters [G]all seem higher than the [D]law
They won't[A] see any [G]punishment at[D] all
[D]He didn't give a damn about your g[A]od or your c[G]hurch
[D]He was just an honest man looking [A]for some honest[G] work
[D]And in his little finger he's [A]got more purity[G]
[D]than a whole church load full of [A]your child[G] molestin[Em]g priests
It seems that you're [G]making him pay for the guilty s[D]ins
Thirty [A]years and that's the [G]thanks he [D]gets
[D]Well it's hard to imagine there could b[A]e a greater [G]sin
[D]than using your trust for [A]abusing a [G]kid
[D]As hard as it may seem, well I [A]think that there[G] is
and [D]you're committing it by [A]protecting these[G] old evil[Em] men
And if there r[G]eally is a judgement [D]day
you're [A]gonna have a [G]whole lot to[D] explain
