A
I was sitting at home all alone when
I heard that telephone ring
And there on the line was
                                            E
a friend of mine saying he wasn't doing a thing
         A
So I'm stepping out on the town
            D
tonight to party where the drinks are free
            A              E                      A
There's a sweet young thing ready and waiting on me

Chorus:
A              D
Young and fine, strike you blind
E                            A
Smokestack lightning make you lose your mind
A                        D
She's got looks that kill can fire at will
E                                 A
Smokestack lightning she's all I need

When we got to the place I got me a taste
I knew she'd be good for a game
Dancing out on the floor she was ready for more
She knew all the boys by their names
I said hey sweet thing let me pull your string
Let me take you home
I woke up in a hour with my money and my memory gone

Chorus

Young and fine strike you blind smokestack lightning
