More chords by Christy Moore
Genre: folk, singer-songwriter, irish music
This is tabbed from one of Christy Moore lockdown sessions, number 3

Christy does the G chord with his thumb on the low E of fret 2, possibly also
reaching the A string on fret 2
as well and a finger on the high E at fret 3. Lots of muting as is Christy's
style.
Capo on 1.
[Intro]
G G
[Verse 1]
G C G C G Am G
If I was a bolt of lightning I’d shoot right down and split the sky
G C G C G Am G
My energy would burn so bright t’would illuminate the darkest night
Am G Am G
Maybe I’ll come back as one, half a second I’ll be gone
Am C Am D G
I’ll zap the earth, light up the sea with a bolt of electricity
[Verse 2]
G C G C G Am G
If I was a bird upon the wing the sweetest songs you’d hear me sing
G C G C G Am G
I’d fill the air with secret words in a language no one’s ever heard
Am G Am G
Round and round the tune would ring, the melody reverberating
Am C Am D G
Mesmerising and absurd, more like and angel than a bird
[Chorus]
G D C G Am
But today I don’t want to be anything else but myself
C G
Today I’m a little bit of all these things
C G
There’s a little bit of all these things in me
C G
I’ve have them all in my hand
Am C G C G C
I’m a lightning, bird, wind, river man
[Verse 3]
