Oh, Notorious Lightning! Yes, I had to ride you
Bm D E
And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
G A
I was told never to question it.
D F#m Bm E G
Now I'm facing twenty years for every night I tried to ingest the snow so lightly! (huh?)
D
You simply couldn't put down the Black Book.
F#m
You dreamt the dreams of the Self-Taught Man.
Bm
You warn the ladies not to be corrupted by their looks,
G D
But your voice comes out soft and slanted!
G F#m
And you're living off what government's granted you:
A Em
Amnesty from the true
G A
Thing. Now, Sandra, slowly remove the ring and watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
G A
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
G A G
Watch Notorious Lightning surround you.
D
I lay myself down to observe your gilded jeans hit the ground,
Bm
And have not grown from this worship.
D
I lay myself down to surrender,
Watch the trust funds gorge us again,
Bm
And have not grown from this worship.
D
So, Great Pretender, pull a face! Let's see the best 'forlorn you know!'
Bm
Just don't sing, "Barricades In The Morning" - it's been three days in a row
G D
And it never comes off like you planned it!
G D
Something once was delivered, then you banned it
A Em
But, oh, there is a key to this thing...
A
Notorious Lightning...

There is a monument.
F#m
There is a place within it that I have won.
Bm
And there is victory at sea.
G
And then there's the sun
D
Crashing down upon us
F#m
Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
Bm G
"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the Book of Appeals pile up!"
D
So, Child of the East, it's time
F#m
To shrug off the Beast and take a look at what you've done.
Bm
The half-breed jury agrees you're OK,
G
But what they never seem to say is that it's never
A
The defense's witness...
