Lightning Knock The Power Out

[Intro]
 
C# D# E
 
[Verse]
 
N.C.
Peasant pick a prophet
N.C.
A dozen dimes a downfall
N.C.
The marble floors are crackin'
N.C
Like the plaster on the walls
G#               C#
Paper-thin foundation
G#               C#           B E B
Gambler let it ride and roll
    A
So why are we so shocked when
           E
The matchstick house is over blown?
 
B E B
 
[Chorus]
 
A          F#             B
Lightning knock the power out
          A                             F#
Huff and puff and blow the pig's house down
            A              B
Lightning knock the power out
 
A E B
B A E B
 
[Verse]
 
N.C.
Doomsday is a'waiting
N.C.
So you better start your praying
N.C.
Preacher, better start your saving
N.C.
'Fore the devil gets his share
G#            C#                G#             C#        B     E B
Run and take cover 'cause it's really comin' down out there
            A
With your candles, cans, and matches
            E
Watch the wheels turn back into squares
 
B E B
 
[Chorus]
 
A          F#             B
Lightning knock the power out
          A                             F#
Huff and puff and blow the pig's house down
            A              B
Lightning knock the power out
 
A E B
B A E B
 
G          F#
Right out
 
Hey!
 
[Bridge]
 
B D# G# E F#
 
B                  D#       G#             E
Nightstick cracks down and riot takes the town
F#
One job lost and here's a bullet for the boss
B              D#          G#                E
Seven leaders meet and a thousand take the street
F#
One button pressed and goodbye, it's the end.
 
[Solo]

[Verse]
 
N.C.
One drop in the water and it's sayonara Disneytown
N.C.
Kinda like the roots all cracking through the concrete ground
     G#               C#     G#             C#        B E B
One squirrel in the walls and it's just a matter of time
       A                    E                                 B E B
Nitwit got the global joystick and long may the cockroach thrive
 
[Chorus]
 
A              F#                B
And that's the way it'll all go down
            A             F#
Lightning knock the power out
                   A                   B
With simulation cities and computer towers
              A              F#
It wont take much to wipe it out
            A              B
Lightning knock the power out
          A                            F#
Huff and puff and blow the pigs house down
           A                  B
Lightning knock the power out...
