D#5 G#5
[Verse 1]
D#5 D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
G#5
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
F#5 G#5
In this avenue tonight
[Chorus 1]
D#5 G#5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 2]
D#5 D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
G#5
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
F#5 G#5
They're so ruthless when they fight
[Chorus 1]
D#5
When the lightning strikes, ooh
[Verse 3]
G#5
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
D#5
Tell me who will rule the street
G#5
And the night explodes
D#5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
G#5
And the chains they crash like thunder
D#5
While the weak ones all retreat
G#5
Gotta draw first blood
A#5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Chorus 1]
D#5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 4]
D#5 D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
D#5 F5 F#5 F5 D#5
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
G#5
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
F#5 G#5
On a cloak and dagger night
[Chorus 1]
D#5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 5]
G#5
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
D#5
Over who'll rule the street
G#5
And the night explodes
D#5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
G#5
And the chains they crash like thunder
D#5
While the weak ones all retreat
G#5
Gotta draw first blood
A#5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
