[F]Oh, Notorious Lightning! [G]Yes, I had to ride you

And trash the crystal jets they kept in storage inside you!
[F]I was told never to [G]question it.

You simply couldn't put down the Black Book.
You dreamt the [Em]dreams of the Self-Taught Man.
You warn the [Am]ladies not to be corrupted by their looks,
F c
But your voice comes out soft and slanted!
And you're [F]living off what government's [Em]granted you:
[G]Amnesty from the [Dm]true
Thing. Now, Sandra, slowly remove the ring and watch [F]Notorious Lightning [G]surround you.
Watch [F]Notorious Lightning [G]surround you.
Watch [F]Notorious Lightning [G]surround you.[F]

I lay myself down to observe your gilded jeans hit the ground,
And have not [Am]grown from this worship.

I lay myself down to surrender,

Watch the trust funds gorge us again,
And have not [Am]grown from this worship.
c
So, Great Pretender, pull a face! Let's see the best 'forlorn you know!'
Just don't sing, "[Am]Barricades In The Morning" - it's been three days in a row
F c
And it never comes off like you planned it!
F c
Something once was delivered, then you banned it
But, [G]oh, there is a [Dm]key to this thing...
[G]Notorious Lightning...
Orchestra Part
(c )(Em )(Am )(F ) x 4

There is a monument.
There is a place [Em]within it that I have won.
And there is [Am]victory at sea.
And then there's the [F]sun
c
Crashing down upon us
[Em]Faithful readership of the Old Warden. We beg -
[Am]"No not another ode to the Garden! You've let the [F]Book of Appeals pile up!"
c
So, Child of the East, it's time
To shrug off the Beast and take a [Em]look at what you've done.
The half-breed jury [Am]agrees you're OK,
But what they never seem to say is that it's [F]never
The defense's [G]witness...
