THE BEATLES AND THE THUNDER
MAX STALLING

Capo II (I capo the bottom 5 strings and leave the low E string open)

D                G                      D
IN THE MIDDLE OF A DEEP KISS THEY BOTH HEAR THE THUNDER
    A                                     D
SHE HALFWAY OPENS ONE EYE AND HE DOES THE SAME
                       G                     D
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE THIS WON’T MAKE THINGS ANY EASIER
A                                        D
PARTICULARLY WITH THE PASSION THAT COMES FROM THE RAIN
   A                                       D
AS IF ON CUE AN OLD BEATLES TUNE IS ON THE RADIO
    A                                   D
SHE HEAVES A SIGH AND ALMOST CRIES “OH, WHAT WILL WE DO”
G                          D
SONT LES MOTS QUIVONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE
       A                       D
IT’S A PRETTY SONG AND HE JUST HUMS ALONG
G                          D
NEVER HAVING PARLEZ VOUS’D MUCH FRANCAIS
              A
HE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY SAY
        G             D
BUT THE WORDS GO NICE TOGETHER

D                    G                 D
THEIR BODIES SO MUCH CLOSER THAN THEIR LIVES ARE
   A                                D
IF TIMING WERE THE MEASURE OF THESE THINGS
                       G                 D
HE BREAKS THE KISS AND STARES OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD
   A                                            D
AS THE FIRST RAINDROPS HIT THE HOOD AND TURN TO STEAM

LATER ON WHEN THE STREETS ARE CLEAR HE TAKES HER TO HER CAR
HE THINKS HARD ON WHAT THE RIGHT THING IS TO DO
BUT HE FEELS ALIVE AND YOUNG AGAIN IN THE FRESH WASHED NIGHT
AS THE STORM CLOUDS SLIDE AWAY, A NEW MOON BREAKS THRU

THEN THERE IT IS IN HIS HEAD AGAIN, THAT OLD BEATLES SONG
IT’S FUZZY NOW, BUT HE REMEMBERS HOW
THEY PLAYED IT AT HIS SENIOR PROM
SONT LES MOTS QUIVONT TRES BIEN ENSEMBLE
IT’S A PRETTY SONG, HE JUST HUMS ALONG
NEVER HAVING PARLEZ VOUS’D MUCH FRANCAIS
HE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY SAY
BUT THE WORDS GO NICE TOGETHER 
BUT THE WORDS GO NICE TOGETHER
