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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA E G B Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
