[Eb] [Bb]
[C] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb]
Thunder on the mountain and the size of the moon.
The roughest in the alley and the sun run me against [Eb] the wind.
Today's the day I'm going to grab my trowel [Bb] and load them blue.
[F] Well, it's hot stuff here and it's everywhere [Bb] I go.
I was thinking about Alicia Keys.
Couldn't keep from crying when she was boiling in Hill's Kitchen.
I was living down the [Eb] line.
I'm wondering where in the world Alicia [Bb] Keys came.
[Bb] [F] I've been looking for her even clear through [Bb] Kansas City.
Feel like my soul is beginning to expand.
Took you to my heart and you would sort [Eb] of understand.
You brought me here, now you're trying to run me [Bb] away.
[Eb] [F] The writing on the wall, come read it, [Bb] come see what it says.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
Thunder on the mountain, rolling up the drum, gonna sleep over there.
That's where the music [Eb] coming from.
I don't need any guide.
I already know [Bb] the way.
[F] Remember this, I'm your servant [Bb] both night and day.
The pistols are popping and the power's down.
I'd like to try something, but I'm so far from [Eb] town.
The sun keeps shining in the north wind, keep picking up [Bb] speed.
[Eb] Don't forget [F] about myself for a while, go out and see what [Bb] others need.
I've been sitting down studying the art of love.
I think it'll fit me like a [Eb] glove.
I want some real good woman to do just what I [Bb] say.
[Eb] [F] Everybody got to wonder what's the matter with [Bb] this cruel world today.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Bb] Thunder on the mountain, rolling through the ground.
Gonna get up in the morning, walk the high road [Eb] down.
Some sweet day I'll stand beside my [Bb] king.
[Eb] I would [F] betray your love or any other [Bb] thing.
Gonna raise me an army, some tough sons of bitches.
I'll recruit my army from the [Eb] orphanages.
I'll paint the St.
Hermit's church, set my [Bb] religious vows.
[F] I'll suck the milk out of a thousand [Bb] cows.
I've got the pork chops she can buy.
She ain't no angel and neither is [Eb] mine.
Shame on your greed, shame on your wicked [Bb] schemes.
[F] I'll say this, I don't give a damn about [Bb] your dreams.
[Eb]
[Bb]
Thunder on the mountain, heavy as can be.
Me don't twist a billion down on me.
[Eb] All the ladies in Washington are scrambling to get out [Bb] of town.
Look like [F] something bad's gonna happen, better roll [Bb] your airplane down.
Everybody going in, I wanna go too.
Gonna wanna take a chance, if somebody [Eb] knew.
I did all I could, I did it right there [Bb] and then.
[F] I've already confessed, no need to confess [Bb] again.
Gonna make a lot of money, gonna go up north.
I plan to turn on harvest when the earth [Eb] spins forth.
The hammer's on the table, the pitchfork's [Bb] on the shelf.
[F] For the love of God, God take pity on [Bb] yourself.
[Eb] [Bb] Oh, [Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [Eb]
I should have one.
[Bb]
