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.

I'll be you

you'll be talkin' to a flowerpot
but that's hardly worth a thought
or a plague of frogs
*
we will vomit up
*
our chicago luck
and we will dance
on broken sheets of glass
to make our point.
(Chorus)
and if this town seems too big
*
if the traffic freaks you out
i will be your lightning rod
* Slide *
delivering sound to you
Verse 2: (Same as above)
he's a charming wreck
and he's a handsome wreck
the kind of rat
that took my woman back to his pad
and i'm not travelin'
i'm not sleepin' in
the clothes i wore
a hundred times or more.
Chorus (Same as above)
Bridge:
What will I do?
What will I do...
when my nerves get
topsy turvy

Verse 3 (Same as above)
I'll be you
if you want me to

Chorus (Same as above)
And if this town seems too big,
if the traffic freaks you out.
I will be your lightning rod
delivering sound.
I can see beneath your skin.
It really freaks me out.
I will be your camera's flash
delivering sunbeams.
End song with Cm Chord.
