Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Lightning Strikes” dari Aerosmith:
E
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
A
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
G A
In this avenue tonight
Chorus:
E A
When the lightning strikes
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
They're so ruthless when they fight
Chorus:
E
When the lightning strikes, ooh
A
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
E
Tell me who will rule the street
A
And the night explodes
E
When the cops bring down the heat
A
And the chains they crash like thunder
E
While the weak ones all retreat
A
Gotta draw first blood
B
Or they'll read your funeral rights
Chorus:
E
When the lightning strikes
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
On a cloak and dagger night
Chorus:
E
When the lightning strikes
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
Over who'll rule the street
And the night explodes
When the cops bring down the heat
And the chains they crash like thunder
While the weak ones all retreat
Gotta draw first blood
Or they'll read your funeral rights
E A
When the lightning strikes
E A
When the lightning strikes
E
When the lightning strikes
A
Can't you hear the thunder
E
When the Lightning Strikes
A
Can't you hear the thunder
E
When the lightning strikes
A
Can't you, can't you,
can't you hear the thunder
E
When the lightning strikes
A
Can't you, can't you,
can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you,
can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
Can't you, can't you,
can't you hear the thunder
When the lightning strikes
