    LIGHTNING DOES THE WORK    Chad Brock



G                                 F

You know nothing's getting done when talking is all you hear

C                                  G

By someone reving up a truck and never put in gear

C

You don't see a cowboy run his mouth and strut around

       G                               F                G

Just takes the bull by the horns and throws him to the ground

F                                  G

Taking care of business not just putting on a show

F                         G

When it gets down to it every body knows.



CHORUS

               C

It ain't the smoke it's the fire that gets the burning done

        G

If it wasn't for the bullet no body'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 a noise boys, lightning does the work





G                            F

You can talk about the farm or you can plow the ground

C                                  G

I go where the rusty nail is and hammer it on down

C

Well you can stand there in the dark cussing at the night

    G                                     F           G 

Or you can just reach out your hand and turn on the light

F                                     G

There ain't no limit in this life to how far you can get

F                                G

But if you're going all the way you've got to break a sweat

Go to chorus

           Em              C           G

Well I've heard thunder talking up a storm

G

Rattling my windows knocking on my door

Em                                 C             G

Well I've seen lightning blow a cypress tree in half

        D                                                 C  

But thunder's busy taking but lightning's kickin' ___.    Lead, chorus,

G                                  D                G

Thunder's just a noise boys but lightning does the work

Vamp on  G F C G for the rest of this song

Laugh, aw yeah gonna get cha get cha good
