            Gm                  Gm
There was a day I saw lightning
            Gm                   Gm
There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning)
Gm
Hey, hey, hey, I saw lightning
Gm
Ho-ho-ho, I saw lightning
Gm
He-he-he, I saw lightning
Gm
Ha-ha-ha


[Verse 1]
      Gm
I saw wind and rain
    Gm
Saw mountains fall
    Gm
Saw temples burn
    Gm
And prison walls
      Gm
I saw floods a-comin'
    Gm
Saw children run
    Gm
Got no more shelter
Gm
No more sun

[Chorus]
        Gm
Then it came to me in a flash of light
       Gm
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
       Gm
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
       Gm
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
       Gm            Gm             Gm
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
Gm                     Gm
Held my head up and it struck me down
Gm
Down to the ground
       Ebm
And it struck me down, struck me down
Gm
Struck me down to the ground


[Refrain]
            Gm                 Gm
There was a day, saw lightning
            Gm                 Gm
There was a day, saw lightning
Gm
Hey, hey, hey, I saw lightning
Gm
Ho-ho-ho, I saw lightning
Gm
He-he-he, I saw lightning
Gm    G
Ha-ha-ha


[Verse 2]
Gm
When it ain't up, wonder where it go
     Gm
Hold the sea as somewhere to row
Gm
Over did then dead heroes
Gm
Make it easy and sunny and go
Gm
We hold the sea and know the unknown
Gm
Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
Gm
Wondering 'bout where do we go
Gm
Until then, we boat


[Chorus]
        Gm
Then it came to me in a flash of light
       Gm
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
       Gm
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day
       Gm
In the hardest winter, in the falling rain
      Gm             Gm             Gm
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
  Gm
I held my head up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
       Gm
And it struck me down (Ooh!)
Gm
Down to the ground (Ooh!)
       Gm
And it struck me down, struck me down
Gm
Struck me down to the ground (Ooh!)
