I saw wind and rain
Dm
Saw mountains fall
Dm
Saw temples burn
Dm
And prison walls

I saw floods a-comin'

Saw children run
Dm
Got no more shelter
Dm
No more sun

Dm
Then it came to me in a flash of light
Dm
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
Dm
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
Dm
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
Dm Dm Dm
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
Dm Dm
Held my head up and it struck me down
Dm
Down to the ground
A#m
And it struck me down, struck me down
Dm
Struck me down to the ground

[Verse 2]
Dm
When it ain't up, wonder where it go
Dm
Hold the sea as somewhere to row
Dm
Over did then dead heroes
Dm
Make it easy and sunny and go
Dm
We hold the sea and know the unknown
Dm
Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
Dm
Wondering 'bout where do we go
Dm
Until then, we boat
[Chorus]
Dm
Then it came to me in a flash of light

By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
Dm
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
Dm
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain

I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
Dm
I held my head up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Dm
And it struck me down (Ooh!)
Dm
Down to the ground (Ooh!)

And it struck me down, struck me down
Dm
Struck me down to the ground (Ooh!)
