Lightning Does The Work

Intro: 
G  F  C  G (x2) 


 
G 
You know nothing's getting done, talking's all you hear 
     G 
Like someone revving up a truck, never put in gear 
C 
You don't see a cowboy run his mouth and strut around 
     G 
Just takes the bull by the horns and throws him to the ground 
D                                 Em 
Taking care of business, not just putting on a show 
C                       D 
When it gets down to it everybody knows 
 

 
             C 
It ain't the smoke it's the fire that gets the burning done 
      G 
If it wasn't for the bullet nobody'd fear the gun 
   Em                                  C                  G 
It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts 
G                               D                  G 
Thunder's just the noise, boys, lightning does the work 
 

Interlude: 
G  F  C  G 


 
G 
You can talk about the farm or you can plow the ground 
G 
Argue with a rusty nail or hammer it on down 
     C 
Well you can stand there in the dark cussing at the night 
   G 
Or you can just reach out your hand and turn on the light 
      D                              Em 
There ain't no limit in this life to how far you can get 
    C                                  D 
But if you're going all the way you've got to break a sweat 
 

 
             C 
It ain't the smoke it's the fire that gets the burning done 
      G 
If it wasn't for the bullet nobody'd fear the gun 
   Em                                  C                  G 
It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts 
G                               D                  G 
Thunder's just the noise, boys, lightning does the work 
 

 
     Em                 C 
Well I've heard thunder talking up a storm 
G 
Rattling my windows, knocking on my door 
     Em                         C 
Well I've seen lightning blow a cypress tree in half 
     A                          D 
Well thunder's busy talking and lightning's kickin' (crack!) 


Solo: 
C      G 
D  Em  C  D 
 

 
             C 
It ain't the smoke it's the fire that gets the burning done 
      G 
If it wasn't for the bullet nobody'd fear the gun 
   Em                                  C                  G 
It ain't the bark, it ain't the growl, it's the bite that hurts 
G                               D                  G 
Thunder's just the noise, boys, lightning does the work 
G                               D                  G 
Thunder's just the noise, boys, lightning does the work
