    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

Chorus 1:
            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

   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
    A5
Gotta draw first blood
                                   B5
Or they'll read your funeral rights
