Bm
Well the sky was blacker than a funeral suit
Bm
Hotter than a depot stove
Bm
Hide in the cellar
Bm
Here comes Amarillo
G            F#  Bm
Blowing up the road

[Verse]
Bm
You got your hail stones big as hen eggs boys
Bm
Clouds just as green can be
Bm
Ol mother nature's raisin hell
G                    F#     Bm
She parked the pickup in a tree

[Chorus]
      D           A
Tornado time in Texas
         A               D
Take the paint right off of your barn
   D            A
Tornado time in Texas
   A                F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm

[Verse]
 Bm
 Now when pigs fly, no I mean really fly
Bm
You can bet that it's blowin hard
Bm
Uncle Clarence was sittin in the out-house
G                 F#     Bm
Now he's sitting in the yard

[Verse]
 Bm
 And Granny's got the barn cat under her arm
Bm
She's got a dish pan over her head
Bm
Daddy's countin kids, four, five, six
G                    F#     Bm
You better bring a loaf of bread

[Chorus]
 
      D           A
 Tornado time in Texas
         A               D
 Take the paint right off of your barn
      D           A
  Tornado time in Texas
   A                F#
  Blow the tattoo off your arm

[Verse]
Bm
Hidin in the cellar with cannin jars
Bm
Sounds like a train up top
Bm
Hold your breath, peek outside
G                 F#     Bm
To see what we ain't got

[Verse]
Bm
Well it'll take your wheat, take your corn
Bm
Even take the cotton balls
Bm
Suck the Red river just dry as a bone
G                 F#     Bm
And dump it on Witchita Falls

[Chorus]
      D           A
Tornado time in Texas
         A               D
Take the paint right off of your barn
      D           A
Tornado time in Texas
   A                F#
Blow the tattoo off your arm
G                    F#     Bm
Blow the tattoo off your arm...
