The Thunder Rolls
Garth Brooks
Key of Dm
 
intro          Dm
 
               Dm                          Bb
verse 1        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        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
                                 C   C/B  A                   Dm  C  Dm
               And the thunder rolls,         and the thunder rolls
 
                               Bb    C                      Dm  C  Dm
chorus         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        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
                                 C   C/B  A                 Dm C Dm  Dm Dm Dm
               And the thunder rolls,       and the thunder rolls

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...

And the thunder rolls...

    Garth plays this at most of his concerts (well, the two I've been to at
least), plus he played it on his T.V. special.
