Verse 1
EmWell there's a rumble in the park, there's a thunder in the dark
EmThe night's so quiet, it's chain lightning
EmBeneath a street light two boys bopping in the night
EmThey have something that I call, chain lightning
Though you Anever hear a sound, there's Gfire underground
F#Rambling through the town, you can't Bkeep it from coming down
EmLovers walking through the mist, Romeo he steal a kiss
EmCaught up in the moment at chain lightning
Verse 2
EmNow I don't know about romance, baby, the latest dance
EmEverybody's getting up, doing it, chain lightning
EmAll along the strand, baby, down in jungleland
EmEverybody's caught up in chain lightning
AEver hear the sound of a Gfire underground
F#Rumbling through the town, the biBg cold is coming down
EmSitting at the light, I'm a rider in the night
EmStreaking light to light for chain lightning

Verse 3
Baby, EmI ain't into style, baby, I ain't into fashion
EmI just got a passion for chain lightning
EmSitting at light, I'm a rider in the night
EmStreaking light to light for chain lightning
