Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit
Bm
Hotter than a depot stove
Bm
Hide in the cellar
Bm
Here comes Amarillo
G F# Bm
Blowing up the road
[Verse]
Bm
You got your hail stones big as hen eggs boys
Bm
Clouds just as green can be
Bm
Ol mother nature's raisin hell
G F# Bm
She parked the pickup in a tree
[Chorus]
D A
Tornado time in Texas
A D
Take the paint right off of your barn
D A
Tornado time in Texas
A F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm
[Verse]
Bm
Now when pigs fly, no I mean really fly
Bm
You can bet that it's blowin hard
Bm
Uncle Clarence was sittin in the out-house
G F# Bm
Now he's sitting in the yard
[Verse]
Bm
And Granny's got the barn cat under her arm
Bm
She's got a dish pan over her head
Bm
Daddy's countin kids, four, five, six
G F# Bm
You better bring a loaf of bread
[Chorus]
D A
Tornado time in Texas
A D
Take the paint right off of your barn

Tornado time in Texas
A F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm

Bm
Hidin in the cellar with cannin jars
Bm
Sounds like a train up top
Bm
Hold your breath, peek outside
G F# Bm
To see what we ain't got
[Verse]
Bm
Well it'll take your wheat, take your corn
Bm
Even take the cotton balls
Bm
Suck the Red river just dry as a bone
G F# Bm
And dump it on Witchita Falls
[Chorus]
D A
Tornado time in Texas
A D
Take the paint right off of your barn
D A
Tornado time in Texas
A F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm
G F# Bm
Blow the tattoo off your arm...
