Tonart: G major
Verse 1
G
D
G
Well, let me tell a story, I can tell it all
C
D
About the mountain boy
C
who ran illegal alcohol
G
Well, his daddy made the whiskey,
the sun he drove the lull
C
And when his engine roared,
D
C
they called the highway Thunder Road
G
Sometimes out of Nashville,
sometimes Memphis town
C
D
The revenuers, they chased him,
C
but they couldn't run him down
G
Each time they thought they had him,
his engine would explode
C
D
And he'd go by like they were standing still
C
G
on Thunder Road
G
thunder over Thunder Road
C
and white lightning was his load
G
C
And there was moonshine, moonshine
G
with which the devils thirst
D
The law they swore they'd get him,
C
G
but the devil got him first
On the 1st of April, 1954,
C
D
A federal man sent word
C
G
he'd better make his run no more.
He said 200 engines
were covering the state,
C
D
Whichever road he tried to take,
C
G
they'd get him sure as fate.
Now son, his daddy told him,
make this run your last,
C
D
Your tank is filled with hundred proof,
C
you're all tuned up in gas.
G
Now, don't take any chances
if you can't get through
C
D
I'd rather have you back again
C
than all that mountain dew
G
C
And there was thunder,
G
thunder over Thunder Road
C
and white lightning was his load
G
C
And there was moonshine, moonshine
G
to quench the devil's thirst
D
The law, they swore they'd get him,
C
G
but the devil got him first
D
G
Pulling out of Nashville
and revving up his mill
C
D
He shot the gap at Cumberland
C
and screamed through Maynardville
G
With T -men on his taillights
and roadblocks up ahead
C
D
That mountain boy took roads
C
G
that even angels feared to tread
Roaring right through Knoxville
and out on Kingston Pike
C
D
Then right outside of Bearden
C
there they made their fatal strike
G
Well he left the road at night and that's
All there is to say,
C
D
the devil got his moonshine
C
G
And the mountain boy that day,
C
there was thunder, thunder
C
And white lightning was his load
G
C
And there was moonshine, moonshine
G
To quench the devil's thirst
D
The law, they swore they'd get him
C
G
But the devil got him first
D
Yeah, the law, they swore they'd get him
C
G
But the devil got him first.
