Lightning Crashes Live
[E]Lightning [B]crashes, a new mother [F#]cries
her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
Lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
Oh new feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it
(solo)
Lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
Written for Barbara Lewis (1973-1993)

The song, "Lightning Crashes," by Live, is very simple, containing only five
chords, E, B, F#, Abm, and D#m. Thses are not played with normal fingerings,
however, they are played as F, C, G, Am, and Em, all tuned down a half step.
The song even sounds right without tuning it down. Here are the chords:
F: 1 C: 0 G: 3 Am: 0 Em: 0
1 1 3 1 0
2 0 0 2 0
3 2 0 2 2
3 3 2 0 2
1 3 (optional) 3 0 0
C can also be played as A (022200) up three frets and G can also be played as
F up two frets.
Intro: F, F, C, C, G, G, G, G, F, F, C, C, G, G, G, G
Verse: (Lightning crashes . . .) FF CC GG GG FF CC GG GG FF CC GG GG FF CC GG
[GG] Repeat Verse
Chorus: (Oh I can feel it . . . ) Twice as fast as Verse: FF CC GG GG FF CC
[GG] [GG] [FF] [CC] [GG] [FF] [CC] [GG] [GG] Repeat verse

Bridge: Am Em Am Em

Well, That's basically it. The barred F, C, and G tuned down is the way Live
plays it, so that is, I know, the correct version, and I didn't put the words
in, but if you want them, just Email me anytime at BobbyHofer@aol.com.
