Band- Margot and the Nuclear So & So's
Song- Broad Ripple Is Burning
Album- Released Demo
Tabber: Jon Green
This is my finger picking version of the song Broad Ripple Is Burning by the
band Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s. It sounds ok when you play along to
the song. You can either strum the chords or finger pick. This is tabbed
according to the demo version released on the internet. Its very simple and
very repetitive. So I urge someone either to build off of this or send
corrections through the comment section.

Am F C G/B
Honey Broad Ripple is burning and the girls are getting sick, off snorting
Am F C G/B
coke up in the bathroom while their boyfriends pick up chicks, and darling im
Am F C G/B
lost. I heard you whispering that night in fountain square, the trashed
Am F C
filled streets made me wish we were headed home.
G/B Am F C G/B
There was love inside the basement where that woman used to lie. In a
Am F C G/B
sleeping bag we shared upon the floor almost every night. And darling I’m
Am F C G/B
drunk, and everything that I have loved has turned to stone. So pack your
Am F C
bags and come back home.

And I wrote this on an airplane where the people look like ants. And when a
