The Thunder Rolls
Garth Brooks

Key of Dm

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

verse 2       

Every light is burnin', in a house across town

She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown
                                                       E(---------------------)

                                                       D(-----7/10\7----------)
                                                       A(---------------------)
                                                       E(---------------------)

Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right

Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night
                                                      E(-----------------------)

                     Bb     C                  A  G  A
Another love grows cold     on a sleepless night

As the storm blows on      out of control

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

                                              E(-----------------)
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows

And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
