               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         A   A7                       Dm 
               And the thunder rolls,               and the thunder rolls 
  
               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        A A7                  Dm  C  Dm 
               And the thunder rolls,         and the thunder rolls 
  
                               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 
  
  
               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        A A7                  Dm C 
               And the thunder rolls,          and the thunder rolls 
  
Chorus 
 
after that chorus you can do one of three things 
1. End the song. 
2. Go straight into the 4th (hidden) verse.   
3. make the audience wait so they think the song is over then go into the 4th 
verse. 
 
If youre going to make the audience wait then just play this about 5 times 
e----0h1-1-| 
B---3------| 
G--2-------| 
D-0--------| 
A----------| 
E----------| 
  
Then go back into the picking pattern or strumming whichever way u wanna take it 
 
4th Verse: She runs back down the hallway, and through the bedroom door 
She reaches for the pistol, kept in the dresser drawer 
Says the lady in the mirror 'He wont do this again.' 
'Cause tonight will be the last night she'll wonder where hes been Dm7 (real fast) 
 
Last Chorus:  
                               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(let ring) 
               Deep in her heart  {3 beat pause}  the thunder rolls
