Intro
E5 A5
E5 A5
E5 A5
E5 A5
[Verse 1]
E5 E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
A5
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
G5 A5
In this avenue tonight
[Chorus 1]
E5 A5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 2]
E5 E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
A5
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
G5 A5
They're so ruthless when they fight
[Chorus 1]
E5
When the lightning strikes, ooh
[Verse 3]
A5
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
E5
Tell me who will rule the street
A5
And the night explodes
E5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
A5
And the chains they crash like thunder
E5
While the weak ones all retreat
A5
Gotta draw first blood
B5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Chorus 1]
E5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 4]
E5 E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
A5
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
G5 A5
On a cloak and dagger night
[Chorus 1]
E5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 5]
A5
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
E5
Over who'll rule the street
A5
And the night explodes
E5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
A5
And the chains they crash like thunder
E5
While the weak ones all retreat
A5
Gotta draw first blood
B5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Instrumental Break]
