Verse 1:
  E5                 E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
The boys and Dukes are ready to rumble
                         E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
The word on the street some heads are gonna tumble
   A5
Blades gonna flash when the street gangs clash
     G5      A5
In this avenue tonight

      E5       A5
When the lightning strikes


Verse 2:
E5                 E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Zip gun Johnny's finger is itching
                      E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Oh the lid's gonna blow up in hell's kitchen
    A5
It's an eye for an eye

And a tooth for a tooth
      G5           A5
They're so ruthless when they fight


Chorus 1:
     E5
When the lightning strikes, ooh


Verse 3:
    A5
And it's a free for all in the parking lot
     E5
Tell me who will rule the street
    A5
And the night explodes
   E5
When the cops bring down the heat


Chorus 2:
     A5
And the chains they crash like thunder
     E5
While the weak ones all retreat
   A5
Gotta draw first blood
               B5
Or they'll read your funeral rights


Chorus 1:
     E5
When the lightning strikes


Verse 4:
  E5                       E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
Um, it's dog eat dog when you're meeting your rival
                      E5 F#5 G5 F#5 E5
In the combat zone it's a means of survival
   A5
Gonna get last licks on a suicide blitz
   G5          A5
On a cloak and dagger night


Chorus 1:
    E5
When the lightning strikes


Verse 5:
      A5
Ooh, it's a free for all in the parking lot
     E5
Over who'll rule the street
    A5
And the night explodes
               E5
When the cops bring down the heat


Chorus 2:
    A5
And the chains they crash like thunder
     E5
While the weak ones all retreat

Gotta draw first blood

Or they'll read your funeral rights
