Intro (mandolin) (last four lines of a verse and repeat the last line)



G
Ain't but two ways around here to get
G
Your hands on a dollar bill
G
You can sell dry and starve to death
G                       D      G
Or you can cook it in a liquor still

G
Well I Got a 40' Ford out back 
G
And buddy that hoss can pull
G
She can get up hill like a mountain cat
G          D     G
Twenty-two cases full


Chorus
      C               G
I can out run any old G man
     C                          G
They might as well be pushin' a plow
C                    G
Boys it's about to be raining
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now


(Chorus solo (Banjo) – repeat the last line)


G
Had a little trouble in Dalton Ville
G
But that ain't the first I felt
G
They run a wood axe through my copper still
G                       D        G
And a bullet through my blue tic hound

G
Could'a been revenures I guess
G
Could'a been old Dan Church
G
They both got'a reason to want me dead
G                        D        F
But their gonn'a have to catch me first


Chorus
      C               G
I can out run any old G man
     C                          G
They might as well be pushin' a plow
C                    G
Boys its about to be raining
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now



(Chorus solo (mandolin) – repeat the last line)


G
I've seen loan man scalpin' loads
G
They returned on highway nine
G
(And tankers tripping up on) Thunder Road
G                            D       G
Their getting' thick as loblolly pines


G
Apple brandy or sour mash
G
It don't make a damn to me
G
It'll get there full and it'll get there fast
G                   D         G 
But it ain't gonna' get there free


Chorus
      C               G
I can out run any old G man
     C                          G
They might as well be pushin' a plow
C                    G
Boys its about to be raining
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now

      C               G
I can out run any old G man
     C                          G
They might as well be pushin' a plow
C                    G
Boys its about to be raining
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now
G                               D         G
Here come your thunder and your lightning now

Tabbed by Jay Woodall 


If you are playing the song solo or without the banjo, here is a way to preserve the sound you get from the banjo drone string. 


G chord

e|---|---|-4-|---|      Add the third fret on the B string to the chord
B|---|---|-3-|---|
G|---|---|---|---|      On the chorus it may sound better to play the
D|---|---|---|---|      straight G chord. play around with and see which
A|---|-2-|---|---|      you like better
E|---|---|-1-|---|


 

D chord
e|---|---|-4-|---|      From the G just shift your index finger from the
B|---|---|-3-|---|      second fret on the A string to the second fret
G|---|-2-|---|---|      on the G string.
D|---|---|---|---|
A|---|---|---|---|
X|---|---|---|---|

Play it like this with the recording and play it with a straight G and D and see what suits you best.

Cheers!
