Tom : C
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 Em A Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls
verse 2
Dm Bb
Every light is burnin', in a house across town
A Dm
She's pacin' by the telephone in her faded flannel gown
Dm Bb
Askin' for a miracle, hopin' she's not right
A Dm
Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night
[Refrão]
C Em A Dm C Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls
Chorus: Bb C Dm C Dm
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
[Próxima Parte]
Dm Bb
She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive
A Dm
She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive
Dm Bb
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
A Dm
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
C Em A Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls
Dm Bb
She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.
A Dm
She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.
Dm Bb
Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".
A Dm
Tonight'll be the last time that she'll wonder where he's been...
[Refrão] (repetir)
Outro Dm (using picking)
