The Thunder Rolls

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 chorus outro same as the intro chords used: E A D G B e Dm x 5 7 7 6 5 Bb x 1 3 3 1 1 (I like it w/o the 3rd) A x 0 2 2 0 0 (here too) C x 3 2 0 1 0 C/B x 2 2 0 1 0 A 5 7 7 6 5 5 (the A in the chorus) G 3 5 5 4 3 3 mikejames (US30139@VM.CC.LATECH.EDU) From: Robert Weatherly <rweather@Sparc.MSMS.DoE.k12.MS.US> 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. From: Mutti <mutti@vgernet.net> The Thunder Rolls Garth Brooks I TABed out all of the slide work for the song in standard tunning. I believe it was recorded with a guitar in open-G. All of the TABs follow the line infront of it, they are not played together, some however carry into the next line.
