Flogging Molly - The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors)
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.

Lyrics -

 I saw her there from afar 
 Her hair grey charcoal 
 Takes a drag from her tar 
 I kissed her a smile 
 But her blood red shot eye 
 Said the son never shines on closed doors 

 It's been eight long years since I saw 
 The woman who's labored 
 Since the day I was born 
 These wrinkles now face 
 To that cold dark damp place 
 Where the son never shines on closed doors 

 She said the son never shines on closed doors 
 I open to find only hurricanes blow 
 Take me away back to the green fields of May 
 Because the son never shines on closed doors 

 Death comes like a thief in the night 
 To steal while you sleep 
 The soul's flickering light 
 Well maybe it's then 
 She said, I'll see you again 
 Because the son never shines on closed doors 

 She said the son never shines on closed doors 
 I open to find only hurricanes blow 
 Take me away back to the green fields of May 
 Because the son never shines on closed doors 

 And we all go the same way home 
 Yeah we all go the same way home
