this song gets bad rep . i personally love it . a lot . it sounds a lot like
christopher owens during the acoustic part in the beginning . anyway , here it is .
by the way , the time signature is an awkward 7/8 . be careful .
D G a x3
higher octave
D G A
D G A D
whatcha gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you?
G A
D G A D
who ya gonna call for the secret of stealing the world?
G A
D G A D
swimming in this ocean of words on your new cellphone .
G A
D G A D
diving for the wisdom of pearls in your eyes .
G A come on!
D G A D
whatcha gonna do when the lightning strikes and hits you?
G A
D G A D
how ya gonna laugh when the joker forgets his lines?
G A
D G A D
stepping off a cloud into space whatever greets you .
G A
D G A D
show me how you got this award for being alive .
G A
D7 G A D7
waking up , is waking to the power .
G A
D7 G A D7
dancing up , is dancing till the dawn .
G A
F A# C F
talk , talk , talk , will always get you some place .
A# C
D G A D
shake it up , ’n’ shake me till i’m done .
that’s basically how it is for the rest so here’s the rest of the lyrics and other little notes .
shake it up now!
she – ay doo – wap – bap x4
who ya gonna call when the power begins to chase you?
spinning out of shape now you’re learning to live again .
fastening your seatbelt tonight it could get jumpy .
showing me the good ’n’ that life is not in vain .
( this line starts the same but does a little run that goes up into some cool accidentals )
( back to the D7 )
take , take , take , ’n’ take me through the lightning .
walk don’t talk me always on the run .
( F )
ride it out , until you get the picture .
( D )
shake it up , and let me get me some .
let me get me some!
( this part’s main focus is on bass , but when it does the little double strum its on A D )
E – ay he say ,
touch it together ,
touching my spirit ,
touching my feeling . x4
( this chorus makes a little variation from the other 2 )
( D7 )
talk , talk , talk , keep moving ’round in circles .
moving till the moon is on the run .
( F )
take me , take me , take me , to the new day .
( D )
take me out and let me get me some .
( F )
take , take , take , and dance me through the lightning .
( D )
moving to the left ’n’ to the sun .
( main riff again )
yeah , yeah , yeah!
help me get me some! yeah!
help me get me some! yeah!
ooh yeah! x7
and that’s it . end on D .
thanks! rate this whatever , i don’t really care .
