The Thunder Rolls

Intro: Dm  
 
 
Verse: 
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 
 
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 
C   C/B  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 
   
Verse 3: 
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   C/B  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 
 
Dm  
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...
