The Thunder Rolls

Intro: Dm

Dm                           Bb
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
Dm                                     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    Em   A                          Dm
         And the thunder rolls,               and the thunder rolls

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

Chorus:                  Bb    C                      Dm   C  Dm
         And the thunder rolls    and the lightnin' strikes
                            Bb     C                  A   G  A
         Another love grows cold     on a sleepless night
                            Bb  C                 Dm  C  Dm
         As the storm blows on      out of control
                     Bb    C                Dm
         Deep in her heart     the thunder rolls

Dm                                  Bb
She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive
A                                         Dm
She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive
Dm                         Bb
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
A                                                           Dm
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
                          C    Em   A                          Dm
         And the thunder rolls,               and the thunder rolls
Dm                              Bb
She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.
A                                                Dm
She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.
Dm                                Bb
Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".
A                                                         Dm
Tonight'll be the last time that she'll wonder where he's been...
                          C    Em   A                  Dm  C Dm  Dm Dm Dm
         And the thunder rolls,       and the thunder rolls
Chorus:                  Bb    C                      Dm   C  Dm
         And the thunder rolls    and the lightnin' strikes
                            Bb     C                  A   G  A
         Another love grows cold     on a sleepless night
                            Bb  C                 Dm  C  Dm
         As the storm blows on      out of control
                     Bb    C                Dm
         Deep in her heart     the thunder rolls
