[Intro :] C
[Verse 1 :]
C
Little rooster out on a fence post crowing
C
Here comes the storm like a big rig rolling
F
Here comes the storm like a big rig flying
C
Heavy, loaded down, fit to split the sky in
[Chorus :]
G
And oh, my little heart's in trouble
F
Feels like it just might ex-plode
Why they call it love when, oh
C
It feels like lightning?
[Verse 2 :]
C
I'm out in the open and the wind starts blowing
C
I don't know any which way I'm going
F
I don't know any which way I'm bound
C
I used to be laughing but I ain't laughing now
[Chorus :]
G
And oh, my little heart's in trouble
F
Feels like it just might ex-plode
Why they call it love when, oh
C
It feels like lightning?
[Bridge 1 :]
Am
With cherry blossoms sweet with smoke
Em
And Venus blazing 'bove the oak
F C G
I thought I knew all that there was to know
Am
With the bluebird doing whatever it does
Em
In God in his heaven wherever that was
F G
And the sun was on the face of a buffalo
[Verse 3 :]
C
Out across the fields are the thunderheads gathering
C
Clouds all gone to the color of a cavern
F
Dust devils spinning around a hollow sound
C
They used to be laughing but they ain't laughing now
[Chorus :]
G
And oh, my little heart's in trouble
F
Feels like it just might ex-plode
Why they call it love when, oh
C
It feels like lightning?
[Break :]
C C C F
C G F C
[Bridge 2 :]
Am
With monarch velvet dust the wind
Em
Always leaving wherever it's been
F C G
I thought that this was happy how it was
Am
And I thought that I'd be doing fine
Em
Change the way I was walking the line
F G
'Til I heard the thunder rumbling high above
[Verse 4 :]
C
This ain't any kind of storm for chasing
C
Gonna to catch up to you now, slow or racing
F
Gonna catch up to you now, by and by
C
Gonna make you feel good, gonna make you cry
[Chorus :]
G
And oh, my little heart's in trouble
F
Feels like it just might ex-plode
Why they call it love when, oh
C
It feels like lightning?
