Chords for 11 The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band - 1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Live in Richmond, VA

[N] _ _ _ [Eb] We learned this song in [Ab]
[G] Sturgis, [Eb] South Dakota.
That's another one of [G] them places [C] we played this summer.
We [Em] played in [E] Sturgis, South Dakota
for the [Cm] Sturgis Bike Rally.
[E] _ [Eb] Which happens to, [G] it's like the largest gathering
of motorcycles in the world.
And we [Ab] played at the Full Throttle Saloon.
We spent five days there, played three days in a row.
We got broke down there actually, our engine blew.
And [Eb] so we had to get a new engine put in [Em] there.
So we was stuck inside the Full Throttle Saloon
for [Eb] five days.
And [G] it's the largest [Em] biker bar in the world.
10,000 people it holds, that's no joke.
[Gb] _ _ [G] There's a half million motorcycles
and not one single muffler.
Can you believe that?
It's unbelievable.
_ [Eb] But anyway, [B] so it can be summed up,
the whole thing can be summed [G] up in three things I think. _
Motorcycles, _ [E] leather, and nipple stickers.
_ _ _ [B] Yeah, you heard right, I said [E] nipple stickers.
_ [G] Yeah, [A] that was new [B] to us.
So we _ _ [Dbm] didn't know what to think.
But [B] anyway, so we're [Em] there for five days,
listening to all the motorcycles.
[C] Everyone's excited about the motorcycles.
Motorcycle is most of the time.
We [Ebm] thought, man, we ain't got a song about motorcycles.
[C] But we might know a song.
So I [Eb] spent a little time [C] working up
a little bottleneck version of this song,
[F] which I believe to be the greatest song
ever written about motorcycles.
It's written by a fellow by the name of Richard Thompson.
And he's actually from the United Kingdom, all right?
And [G] this song here has been covered by [Em] a bunch of people.
One of my favorite versions is _ Del [C] McCurry.
That's right, that's right, that's right.
You [Bb] might know the song.
The song's called Vincent Black Lightning, 1952. _
And this is our version of it right [B] here. _ _ _ _
