Lightning Crashes a new mother cries.
Her placenta falls to the floor.
The angel opens her eyes,
the confusion sets in...
before the doctor can even close the door.

Lightning Crashes an old mother dies. 
Her intentions fall to the floor.
The angel closes her eyes...
the confusion that was hers...
belongs now to the baby down the hall.

Chorus
Oh now feel it...coming back again.
Like a rollin thunder chasing the wind.
Forces pullin from the center of the earth again.
[UP UNTIL THIS PART THE ONLY CHORDS YOU SHOULD USE ARE F - Csus2 - G IN THAT ORDER BE CAREFUL 
BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO MUTE THE CHORDS AT TIMES]

I can feel it.

Strum Pattern
-------------
Intro and most of the song
F X F FXX Csus2 X Csus2 Csus2XX G X G GXX G X G GXX ------------->BACK TO "F" AND JUST REPEAT.
Chorus
------
FF FXX Csus2Csus2 Csus2XX GGGG GG GXX----------------->REPEAT

GO NICE AND SLOW...THEN AS YOU REPEAT THE MAIN PATTERN, BEGIN TO STRIKE THE CHORDS HARDER...
THIS IS WHERE YOU GET THE INTENSITY OF THE SONG.

 Listen to the song...very easy to follow. If you need to see it download their
unplugged performance(use Kazaa or Morpheus and type in under video files - live
lightning crashes unplugged). The intro up to the chorus and pretty much
througout the entire song is a very easy strum pattern. There is also an
interlude when (I can feel it part) chords Am and E7 are used. Great song...may
sound a little better on the acoustic but either way works
Enjoy!
