Lightning Bolt Jake Bugg
Play the chords as open chords - apart from the B. This should really be B5, but
power chords don't sound great on acoustic guitars.
Strumming pattern goes 2 beats and a pause on the E, then 2 beats on both A & B.
On the bridge "Everyone...", just use a racing down strum.
Intro: E B A x4
[E]Morning, it?s a[B]nother pure & [A]grey [E]morning
Don?t [B]know what the [A]day is [E]holding
When I [B]get upt[A]ight
And I [E]walk right into the [B]path of a [A]lightning[(E)] bolt
Link: (E)B A x2
[E]Sirens, of an [B]ambu[A]lance comes [E]howling
Right [B]through the [A]centre of [E]town and
No one [B]blinks an [A]eye
And I [E]look up to the sky in the [B]path of a [A]lighting[(E)] bolt
Link: (E)B A x2
[E]Met her, as the [B]angels [A]parted [E]for her
But she [B]only [A]brought me [E]torture
But [B]that?s what [A]happens
When it?s [E]you who?s standing in the [B]path of a [A]lightning[(E)] bolt
Link: E A B E E E
[A]Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just [E]stand by and I wait my time
They say you [A]gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
But when I [E]see the signs I [B]jump on that [A]lightning [(E)]bolt
[(E)] [B] [A] [E]

[E]Chances, people [B]tell you [A]not to take [E]chances
When they [B]tell you there [A]aren't any [E]answers
And I was [B]starting to [A]agree
But I [E]woke up suddenly in the [B]path of a [A]lightning[(E)] bolt
Link: (E)A B x2
[E]Fortune, people [B]talking [A]all about [E]fortune
Do you [B]make it or [A]does it just [E]call you
In the [B]blinking of an [A]eye
Just a[E]nother passer by in the [B]path of a [A]lightning [E]bolt
Link: E A B E E E
[A]Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just [E]stand by and I wait my time
They say you [A]gotta toe the line they want the water not the wine
But when I [E]see the signs I [B]jump on that [A]lightning[(E)] bolt

It was [E]silent, I was [B]lying [A]back gazing s[E]kyward
When the [B]mom[A]ent got [E]shattered
I rem[B]embered what she s[A]aid
And [E]then she fled in the [B]path of a [A]lightning [E]bolt
Outro: E B A x3 E
