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

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
