The Thunder Rolls
Garth Brooks

intro          Dm

               Dm                          Bb
verse 1        Three-thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight
               A                                                         Dm
               The city's lookin' like a ghost town on a moonless summer night
                                                      Bb
               Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm moving in
               A                                                          Dm
               He's headin' back from somewhere that he never should have been
                                      C  G/B  A                      Dm
               And the thunder rolls,               and the thunder rolls


verse 2        Every light is burnin', in a house across town
               She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown
               Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right
               Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night
                                     C  G/B  A                        D5 C5 D5
               And the thunder rolls,           and the thunder rolls


                            Bb5   C5                         D5 C5 D5
chorus         The thunder rolls    and the lightnin' strikes
                                  Bb5      C5                  A5
               Another love grows cold     on a sleepless night
                                  Bb5  C5               D5 C5 D5
               As the storm blows on      out of control
                            Bb5   C5               Dm
               Deep in her heart     the thunder rolls


verse 3        She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive
               She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive
               But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
               And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
                                 C   G/B  A                 D5 C5 D5  Dm Dm Dm
               And the thunder rolls,       and the thunder rolls

chorus

               She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.
               She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.
               Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".
               Tonight'll be the last time she'll wonder where he's been...

               And the thunder rolls...
