[Intro]
G
G D G C G D G
[Verse 1]
G
So, stand in line and state your name,
D7
The first one's sacred, the rest profane,
G C
Speak and make lightning and then confess,
G D7 G
Her children rise up and call her blessed.
[Verse 2]
G
Shards of bone scattered cross the clearing,
D7
The fears she had were well worth fearing,
G C
I'm pacing and worrying all night and day,
G D7 G
Neither you nor your momma do a single thing I say.
[Chorus 1]
G
Speak and make lightning and it will pass,
D
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast,
G C
On an icy road north of Edmonton,
G D G
Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come.
[Verse 3]
G
I wanna kiss your cheek, I wanna hold you tight,
D7
But you took your pills and you're out tonight,
G C
Speak and make lightning, forget the rest,
G D7 G
And enter the fields of the fatherless.
[Verse 4]
G
I lost almost everything, so I'm almost free,
D7
I was trying to tell you, you wouldn't listen to me,
G C
I'm driving up the hill to a place others call my home,
G D7 G
Hu, it's just where I go.
[Chorus 2]
G
Speak and make lightning and it will pass,
D
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast,
G C
Tell me how bad you really want it, son,
G D G
Speak and make lightning and it will come.

[Verse 5]
G
If you can't stand me, you'll hate my replacement,
D7
All my heroes are late with their payments,
G C
Speak and make lightning, remember my face,
G D7 G
And spoil not my resting place.
[Verse 6]
G
Line to the horizon, first man to last,
D7
On a warm autumn day I lay in the grass,
G C
The house is quiet, a silent wind,
G D7 G
Love covers all sins.
[Chorus 3]
G
Speak and make lightning and it will pass,
D
Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast,
G C
In the attic there's an old Gatling gun,
G D G
Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come.
