Tonart: A major
Verse 1
Cm
Now let me tell the story,
I can tell it all
C
Cm
who ran illegal al cohol
His daddy made the whiskey,
his son he drove the load
G
And when his engine roared
they called the highway Thunder
C
Road
G
C
Sometimes in to Nashville,
sometimes Memphis town
G
The revenues they chased him
C
but they couldn't run him down
G
C
Each time they thought they had him,
G
C
G
C
his en gine would explode
G
And he'd go by like they were standing still
on Thunder Road
C
thunder over Thunder Road
and white lightning was his load
Fm
F
Moonshine, moonshine
C
G
C
quenched the devil's thirst
G
The law they swore they'd get him,
C
Cm
but the devil got him first
On the 1st of April, 1954,
G
the federal man said word
C
Cm
he'd better make his run no more.
He said two hundred agents
were covering the state.
G
Whichever road he tried to take,
they'd get him sure as clay.
C
G
C
G
Son, his daddy told him,
C
G
make this run your last.
Your tank is filled with hundred proof,
C
G
you're all wound up and gassed.
C
G
Now don't take any chances,
G
I'd rather have you back again
C
G
C
than all the mountain dune
C
thunder over Thunder Road
C
and white lightning was his load
C
G
quenched the devil's thirst
The law, they swore they'd get him,
C
Cm
but the devil got him further
Roarin' out of Harlem, reavin' up his mill
G
He shot the gap at Cumberland
C
G
and screamed by Maryville
Cm
With T -Man on his taillight
and roadblocks up ahead
G
The mountain boy took rolls
C
that even angels feared to tread
G
C
G
C
Blazin' right through Knoxville,
out on Kingston Pike
G
Then right outside of Bearden,
C
G
there they made their fatal strike
C
G
C
He left the road at ninety, that's all
Cm
All there is to say,
C
G
the devil got the moonshine
C
and the mountain bore that day
C
G
C
thunder over Thunder Row
F
and white lightning was his glow
Moonshine, moonshine
C
G
C
quenched the devil's thirst
G
D
G
The law they swore they'd get him,
but the devil got him first
The law, swore they'd get him,
Cm
but the devil got him first
