"Lightning's Blues" - John Gorka from "Between Five and Seven" 1996

Intro: just vamp back and forth on Gm7 (353333) and C

Gm7                  C
Smokey the Bear said only you can...

Gm7                   C
Lightning said Smokey that's not true

      Gm7                C     
Though sometimes I can't help myself

           Gm7                          C
You know I strike at will, it's nothing personal


Chorus:
Am                     Bm
I'm just trying to get close enough

   C               G        C            Em       Am (?) 
To see the face of love, to be in the face of love...


There's Franklin's kite and Franklin's key
And Frankenstein - they owe a debt to me
I've lit them up, I've knocked them down
I've put them early underground

chorus

There are bolts for them out of the blue
Volts for us, we'll hit the heights for you
I come by cloud, I come by storm
When the pressure drops, when cool meets warm

chorus

One combination still impresses 
Women, wind and summer dresses
Meet me underneath that hollow tree
Hope you don't mind if thunder follows me
