Sentimental Johnny

Flogging Molly

Text File

Top o' the mornin to ye! This is a marvelously energetic song by a marvelously energetic band, so if your hand isn't worn out by the end of the song you're not strumming fast enough. Like all my other F.M. tabs, there are some parts here (like the accordion solo) that really shouldn't be played on guitar, so blessed is he who has an accordion, fiddle, or tin whistle player in his band. Enjoy!
