Thunder On The Mountain

G
Thunder on the mountain, and there's fires on the moon

a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
C                                           G
Today's the day, gonna grab my trombone and blow
D                         G
Well, there's hot stuff here and it's everywhere I go

G
I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying

When she was born in Hell's Kitchen, I was living down the line
C                        G
I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could be
D                                    G
I been looking for her even clear through Tennessee

G
Feel like my soul is beginning to expand

Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
C                                   G
You brought me here, now you're trying to run me away
D                                          G
The writing on the wall, come read it, come see what it say

G
Thunder on the mountain, rollin' like [a] drum

Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from
C                               G
I don't need any guide, I already know the way
D                                 G
Remember this, I'm your servant both night and day

G
The pistols are poppin' and the power is down

I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town
C                                          G
The sun keeps shinin' and the North Wind keeps picking up speed
D                                                   G
Gonna forget about myself for a while, gonna go out and see what others need

G
I've been sittin' down studyin' the art of love

I think it will fit me like a glove
C                                   G
I want some real good woman to do just what I say
D                                             G
Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world today

[Verse]
G
Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground

Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
C                           G
Some sweet day I'll stand beside my king
D                             G
I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing

G
Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches

I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
C                                     G
I been to St. Herman's church, said my religious vows
D                             G
I've sucked the milk out of [a] thousand cows

G
I got the porkchops, she got the pie

She ain't no angel and neither am I
C                               G
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked schemes
D                                   G
I'll say this, I don't give a damn about your dreams

G
Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be

Mean old twister bearing down on me
C                                        G
All the ladies in Washington scrambling to get out of town
D                                              G
Looks like something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane down

G
Everybody going and I want to go too

Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new
C                                   G
I did all I could, I did it right there and then
D                                G
I've already confessed - no need to confess again

G
Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north

I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth
C                                    G
The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the shelf
D                                       G
For the love of God, you ought to take pity on yourself
