After quite some time screwing around with this tune, I've decided on the following chords. They differ considerably from the suggestions in earlier threads. I used Cornell '77 as my primary reference. I hope this proves helpful to other folks trying to figure this one out!
Code: Select all
7/4
CM7 ---> F(G)*
* = 3x321x
C Em ** Am7 C7 Am
Lazy lightnin', sleepy fire in your eyes,
F7 C
Is that desire in disguise?
Em F G G
I keep on tryin' but I I can't get through
C Em ** Am7 C7 Am
Lazy lightnin', I’d like to find the proper potion
F7 C
To kinda capture your emotion
Em F G G Am -->
You're right beside me but I I can't get through
** = x05555, 8-10-8-9-8-8, x07555
(Am - -
You're a loop of lazy lightnin',
Just a loop of lazy lightnin',
Must admit you’re kinda frightening,
D9
But you really get me high
Most invitin', when I hear your velvet thunder
You seem so near I start to wonder
Would you come closer if I, if I asked you to?
So excitin', way you're messin' with my reason
It's an obsession but it's pleasin'
Tell me your lie and I will swear, I'll swear it’s true
You're a loop of lazy lightnin',
Just a loop of lazy lightnin',
Must admit you’re kinda frightening,
G
Loop a loop of lazy lightnin',
D
Rope of fire 'round my heart / (lightnin')
G
Rope of fire ever tightening
D
Rope of fire 'round my heart
Em - - / C - - - / G - - / F - C - / Am -->
Come on, come on, lazy lightnin'
Am
You’re a loop of Lazy lightnin',
Am ---> INTRO --> Solo over verse, chorus
Whooo
Lazy lightnin', say you'll never strike the same place
I want a double dose in any case
I'd fly a kite if I thought, thought that would do
Crazy lightnin', way you always 'lectrified me,
Someday I know you'll satisfy me
And all that lightnin' will be my lightnin', too
My lightnin' too... (repeat) --> BASS BREAK --> Supplication: D9 Jam -->
D - - - Fmaj7
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) Dizzy ain't the word for the way that you're makin' me feel now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) I need some indication if all of this is real now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) I've heard it said there could be something wrong in my head now
(Whoo-hoo-hoo) Could it be infatuation or am I just bein' mislead now?
Little bolt of inspiration, right beside me now
Sparkin' my imagination, gotta light me now
Causin' instant excitation, cause you're frightenin' now
Could be a hallucination, way you strike me now
Come to heed my supplication, got to have it now
(etc. / Bobby varies the lyrics here)
