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