[G] [D] [C] [G]

[C] [G]
[C] [G] [C] [G] Johnny works at a factory and [C] Billy works [G] downtown.
[Em]
Terry works in a rock and roll band [Am] looking for the eight million [Bm] [C] dollars a sound.
[G] I got a little job down in Darling [C] but some nights I [G] don't go.
[Em] Some nights I go to diving, [Am] oh some [Bm] nights I [C] stay home.
I follow the dream just like those [G] guys do up [C] on the stand.
And I drove a Challenger down the road [G] through the dead ends and all [C] of bed sand.
And [D] when the promise was broken I [C] cashed it in [G] for my dream.
[D] [G] Well now I broke the Challenger by myself [C] but I needed money and so [G] I sold it.
[D] [Em] I lived a secret I should have kept to myself [Am] but I got drunk [Bm] one night and [C] I told you.
[Em] All my life [Bm] I fought this fight, [Am] the fight that [Bm] no man [C] can ever win.
[G] Every day it just [D] gets harder to live this [C] dream I'm believing.
[G] [C]
[Bm] [C] Thunderhawk, oh baby [D] you [G] are so right.
[Am]
[Bm] [C] Thunderhawk, there's something dying down [D] the [G] highway tonight.
[C]
[G] [C]
[D] [G] I only once ran out of the coast but [C] somehow I paid the big [G] cost.
Inside [Em] I felt like I was carrying the broken spirits [Am] of all that [Bm] I've ever [C] wanted to love.
[Em] When the promise is broken [Bm] it goes on and on [Am] but it steals [Bm] something from down [C] in your soul.
Like [G] when the truth is spoken [D] and it don't make no difference.
Something in your heart [G] turns cold.
[Am] [Bm] [C] Thunderhawk, to the lost lovers [D] and all the [G] fixed gains.
[Am] [Bm] [C] Thunderhawk, for the tired [D] rushing [Am] [G] by my right.
[Am] Thunderhawk, [Bm] [C] remember with me and girl [D] we'd [G] always sing.
[Am]
[Bm] [C] Thunderhawk, you're gonna take it all, [D] destroy it [G] all.
