The Thunder Rolls

Dm                          A#
Three thirty in the morning not a soul in sight
A                                                    Dm
City’s lookin’ like a ghost town on a moonlit summer night
                                      A#
Raindrops on the windshield there’s a storm movin’ in
A                                                        Dm
He’s headin’ back from somewhere that he never should’ve been
                C  C/B A               Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls…

Dm                          A#
Every light is burnin’ in a house across town
A                                                  Dm
She’s pacin’ by the telephone in her faded flannel gown
                     A#
Askin’ for a miracle hopin’ she’s not right
A                                                Dm
Prayin’ it’s the weather that’s kept him out all night
                C  C/B A               Dm  Dm C Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls…

(chorus)

            A#    C                 Dm  C  Dm
The thunder rolls and the lightnin’ strikes
                   A#   C              A  G  A
Another love grows cold on a sleepless night
                   A# C      Dm  C  Dm
As the storm blows on out of control
            A#     C           Dm
Deep in her heart, the thunder rolls

Dm                                  A#
She’s waitin’ by the window when he pulls into the drive
A                                        Dm
She rushes out to hold him thankful he’s alive
                           A#
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
        A                                                  Dm
And the lightin’ flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
                C  C/B A               Dm  C  Dm  Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls…

(repeat chorus)





Dm                              A#
She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door
A                                                Dm
She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer
                                  A#
Tells the lady in the mirror, “He won’t do this again!”
A                                                    Dm
Tonight’ll be the last time she’ll wonder where he’s been
                C  C/B A               Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls…

(repeat chorus)
