The Thunder Rolls
Garth Brooks
I TABed out all of the slide work for the song in standard tunning. I believe
it was recorded with a guitar in open-G. All of the TABs follow the line
infront of it, they are not played together, some however carry into the next
line.
Any questions or comments, please E-Mail me,

intro Dm (Just Pick It)
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 C/B A Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls

Prayin' it's the weather that's kept him out all night
