There was a day I saw lightning
GmGm
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
GmGmGm
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
GmGm
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]
GmGm
There was a day, saw lightning
GmGm
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
GmG
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
GmGmGm
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!)
