Capo 2 
 
          A                                 D             A 
Well they call me Southern Thunder, hear me long before I come 
        A                              E 
When my guitar starts to rumble and my amplifier hums 
        A                      D              A 
It's so easy makin' music all about my family home 
          A                                  E                 A 
Yea, they call me Southern Thunder, proud to be that's how I'm known  
 
 
       A                               D            A 
Now my daddy, he was somewhere between God and John Wayne 
      A                           E               
And I realized long ago I'm gonna sure do my own thing 
     A                             D              A 
So I sang about a country boy that knew how to survive 
        A                                    E                    A  
And you know I'm telling the truth cause I'm talking 'bout my own life 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Yeah, they call me Southern Thunder, hear me long before I come 
When my guitar starts to rumble and my amplifier hums 
There's a storm front building up down in the Gulf Of Mexico 
Yea they call me Southern Thunder, know me everywhere I go 
 
No don't put us down or talk about our sacred southern ways 
Southern Thunder just might roll around and rain out your parade 
It's so easy makin music all about my family home 
Yea, they call me Southern Thunder, proud to be that's how I'm known 
 
There's a storm front building up down in the Gulf Of Mexico 
Seems to follow me everywhere I go 
Yea, they call me Southern Thunder 
Proud to be, doncha know
