Lightning Strikes by Yes

Chords with lyrics

This song gets bad rep. I personally love it. Chord diagramA augmentedA lot. It sounds a lot like
Christopher Owens during the acoustic part in the beginning. Anyway, here it is.

By the way, the time signature is an awkward 7/8. Be careful.

Shake it up, 'n' shake me till I'm done.

That's basically how it is for the rest so here's the rest of the lyrics and other little notes.

Shake it up now!

She-ay doo-wap-bap x4

Who ya gonna call when the power begins to chase you?
Spinning out of shape now you're learning to live again.
Fastening your seatbelt tonight it could get jumpy.

Showing me the good 'n' that life is not in vain.
(This line starts the same but does a little run that goes up into some cool accidentals)

(Back to the Chord diagramD7D7)
Take, take, take, 'n' take me through the lightning.
Walk don't talk me always on the run.
(Chord diagramFF)
Ride it out, until you get the picture.
(Chord diagramD MajorD)
Shake it up, and let me get me some.

Let me get me some!

(This part's main focus is on bass, but when it does the little double strum its on a Chord diagramD MajorD)
E-ay he say,
Touch it together,
Touching my spirit,
Touching my feeling.  x4

(This chorus makes a little variation from the other 2)
(Chord diagramD7D7)
Talk, talk, talk, keep moving 'round in circles.
Moving till the moon is on the run.
(Chord diagramFF)
Take me, take me, take me, to the new day.
(Chord diagramD MajorD)
Take me out and let me get me some.
(Chord diagramFF)
Take, take, take, and dance me through the lightning.
(Chord diagramD MajorD)
Moving to the left 'n' to the sun.

(Main riff again)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Help me get me some! Yeah!
Help me get me some! Yeah!

Ooh yeah! x7

And that's it. End on D.
Thanks! Rate this whatever, I don't really care.
