Lightning Bolt

    D                          A  
The best years of his life, is 
             G
what he gave to you.
  D                         A     
Never late a day, he's been 
       G
faithful and true.
D                            
Putting out the tombstones and 
  A                G
digging down the graves.
    D                          
For over thirty years now and I 
 A                 G              
can't believe you have the nerve 
   Em
to say
            G                     
that you're gonna have to cut his 
Em
pay.
                   G               
'Cause one of your priests did such
          D
 an awful thing.

[Chorus]
D                                 
Lightning bolt, oh lightning bolt,
      A                    G
 why don't you strike them down?
    D                              
For what they did they deserve to 
    A                 G
be a black spot in the ground.
    D                  A          
And if there is a god, up there in
     G
 the clouds,
  D                             
I can't imagine a better time to 
 A        G          Em
show his wrath than now.
               G                
Somehow, these monsters all seem 
                 Em
higher than the law.

                   G            
They won't see any punishment at 
 D
all.

[Verse 2]
   D                             A
He didn't give a damn about your 
           G
god or your church.
   D                              
He was just an honest man looking 
A               G
for some honest work.
    D                        A 
And in his little finger, he has 
           G
more purity,
       D                        
Than a whole church-load full of 
 A          G         Em
your child-molesting priests,
                G                  
It seems you're making him pay for 
           Em
the guilty sins.
                             G     
Thirty years, and that's the thanks
    D
 he gets.

[Verse 3]
     D                           A
It's hard to imagine there could 
            G
be a greater sin,
     D                     A      
Than using your trust for abusing 
  G
a kid.
   D                           A  
As hard as it may seem, well I 
              G
think that there is
    D                       
And you're committing it, by 
 A                G        Em
protecting these old evil men.
             G                     
And if there really is a judgement 
Em
day,
              G            D
You'll have a whole lot to explain.

[Chorus]
D                                 
Lightning bolt, oh lightning bolt,
      A                    G
 why don't you strike them down?
    D                              
For what they did they deserve to 
    A                 G
be a black spot in the ground.
    D                  A          
And if there is a god, up there in
     G
 the clouds,
  D                             
I can't imagine a better time to 
 A        G          Em
show his wrath than now.
               G                
Somehow, these monsters all seem 
                 Em
higher than the law.
                   G            
They won't see any punishment at 
 D
all.
