THE THUNDER ROLLS           (GARTH BROOKS) 

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    C/B  A                 Dm 
And the thunder rolls,      and the thunder rolls

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
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls

Refrain:

                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

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
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls

Refrain

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'11 be the last time she'll wonder where he's been... 
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls

Refrain
