D5 G5
[Verse 1]
D5 D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
G5
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
F5 G5
In this avenue tonight
[Chorus 1]
D5 G5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 2]
D5 D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
G5
It's an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
F5 G5
They're so ruthless when they fight
[Chorus 1]
D5
When the lightning strikes, ooh
[Verse 3]
G5
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
D5
Tell me who will rule the street
G5
And the night explodes
D5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
G5
And the chains they crash like thunder
D5
While the weak ones all retreat
G5
Gotta draw first blood
A5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
[Chorus 1]
D5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 4]
D5 D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
D5 E5 F5 E5 D5
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
G5
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
F5 G5
On a cloak and dagger night
[Chorus 1]
D5
When the lightning strikes
[Verse 5]
G5
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
D5
Over who'll rule the street
G5
And the night explodes
D5
When the cops bring down the heat
[Chorus 2]
G5
And the chains they crash like thunder
D5
While the weak ones all retreat
G5
Gotta draw first blood
A5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
