Thunder On The Mountain

(G)Thunder on the mountain and there's fires on the moon
There's a ruckus in the alley and the sun will be here soon
(C)Today's the day; gonna grab my trombone and (G)blow
Well, there's (D7)hot stuff here and it's everywhere I (G)go

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)I'm wondering where in the world Alicia Keys could (G)be
I been (D7)looking for her even clear through Tennes(G)see

Feel like my soul is beginning to expand
Look into my heart and you will sort of understand
(C)You brought me here, now you're trying to run me a(G)way
The (D7)writing on the wall, come read it, come see what it (G)say

Thunder on the mountain, rolling like a drum
Gonna sleep over there, that's where the music coming from
I (C)don't need any guide, I already know the (G)way
Re(D7)member this, I'm your servant both night and (G)day

The pistols are poppin' and the power is down
I'd like to try somethin' but I'm so far from town
The (C)sun keeps shinin' and the north wind keep picking up (G)speed
gonna forget (D7)about myself for a while, go out and see what others (G)need

I've been sitting down studying The Art of Love
I think it will fit me like a glove
I (C)want some real good woman to do just what I (G)say
Every(D7)body got to wonder what's the matter with this cruel world to(G)day

Thunder on the mountain rolling to the ground
Gonna get up in the morning walk the hard road down
Some (C)sweet day I'll stand beside my (G)king
I wouldn't (D7)betray your love or any other (G)thing

Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches
I'll recruit my army from the orphanages
I (C)been to St. Herman's church; said my religious (G)vows
I've (D7)sucked the milk out of a thousand (G)cows

I got the pork chops, she got the pie
She ain't no angel and neither am I
Shame (C)on your greed, shame on your wicked (G)schemes
I'll say (D7)this, I don't give a damn about your (G)dreams

Thunder on the mountain heavy as can be
Mean old twister bearing down on me
All (C)the ladies in Washington are scrambling to get out of (G)town
Look like (D7)something bad gonna happen, better roll your airplane (G)down

Everybody going and I want to go, too
Don't wanna take a chance with somebody new
I (C)did all I could, I did it right there and (G)then
I've al(D7)ready confessed - no need to confess a(G)gain

Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north
I'll plant and I'll harvest what the earth brings forth
The (C)hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's on the (G)shelf
For the (D7)love of God, you ought to take pity on your(G)self
