Song: Ballad Of Thunder Road Tab

(Intro)

V1:

[E] Now let me tell the story and I can tell it all
It's [B] about a mountain boy who ran [E] illegal alcohol
His daddy made the moonshine while he drove the load
And [B] when his engine roared, they called the highway Thunder [E] Road.

V2:

Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town
Well the [B] revenuers chased him, but they [E] could not run him down
Just when they thought they had him, his engine would explode
And [B] he'd blow by like they were standin' still on Thunder [E] Road.

CH:

There was [A] thunder, thunder, [E] on that Thunder Road
[B] Thunder was his engine, white [E] lightning was his load
There was [A] moonshine, moonshine to [E] quench the ol' Devil's thirst
Yeah the [B] G-men they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him [E] first.

(Solo)

======Optional======

V3:

On the first of April, nineteen fifty-four
A [B] Federal man sent word he'd better [E] make his run no more
He said two hundred agents were coverin' the state
Which-[B]-ever road he tried to take, they'd get him sure as [E] fate.

V4:

Son, his Daddy told him, make this run your last
The [B] tank is filled with hundred-proof, you're [E] all tuned up and gassed
Now, don't take any chances, if you can't get through
I'd [B] rather have you back again than all that mountain [E] dew.

CH:

There was [A] thunder, thunder, [E] on that Thunder Road
[B] Thunder was his engine, white [E] lightning was his load
There was [A] moonshine, moonshine to [E] quench the ol' Devil's thirst
Yeah the [B] G-men they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him [E] first.

(Solo)

======End Of Optional======

V5:

Roarin' out of Harlan went the whippoorwill
He [B] shot the gap at Cumberland, and [E] screamed through Maynardsville
With G-men on his taillights, and roadblocks up ahead
That [B] mountain boy took roads that even angels feared to [E] tread.

V6:

Blazin' right through Knoxville, on down Kingston Pike
It was [B] just outside of Bearden, where they [E] made the fatal strike
He left the road at ninety, that's all there is to tell
The [B] Devil sent the moonshine and the driver straight to [E] hell!

CH:

There was [A] thunder, thunder, [E] on that Thunder Road
[B] Thunder was his engine, white [E] lightning was his load
There was [A] moonshine, moonshine to [E] quench the ol' Devil's thirst
Yeah the [B] G-men they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him [E] first.

Tag:

Yeah the [B] G-men they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him [E] first.
