Thunderstorms Chords by Cal Smith

_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Gm] _ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ A thunderstorm, [Eb] a scream door, [Bb] and a little boy
A _ _ _ lightning _ [Gm] flash brings teardrops [Cm] to his eyes
_ [Dm] _
[A] _ [Bb] But then he hears [Eb] his father's voice [Bb] so soft and low _ _
_ _ _ Telling him [Gm] it's just _ [F] God's lullaby
_ And _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ Jesus is [Eb] flying to see [Bb] him to light up the [Eb] sky _
_ _ [Bb] _ He's trying to [Eb] tell us not [Gm] to _ tremble and [F] cry
The [Eb] _ _ rain [Bb] is his teardrops and [Eb] _ _ thunders [Bb] the sound
[Eb] Of his magnificent [Gm] chariot that [Bb] [F] rides on the wind _
But _ [Bb] _ _ lullabies [Eb] get pushed aside [Bb] by grown-up pain
[Bb] Ain't _ _ it sad the way [Gm] the mind gets so [Cm] confused
_ [Eb] And [F] _ [A] _
_ [Bb] as I try to find [Eb] the meaning _ to [Bb] this life I lead _ _
_ _ _ Father, [Gm] _ sometimes I [F] envy you _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] He was staring _ from your deathbed at the winter sky
_ Cold _ _ _ and blue [Gm] and not a trace [F] of rain _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ When suddenly you [Eb] _ shivered [Bb] and you tried to reach for me
_ _ _ _ And as you slowly closed your eyes [Gm] I thought I [F] heard you say
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ Jesus is [Eb] flying to see [Bb] him to light [Eb] up the sky
_ _ _ [Bb] _
He's trying [Eb] to tell us not [Gm] to _ tremble [F] and cry
The _ [Eb] _ _
rain [Bb] is his teardrops _ [Eb] _
and thunders [Bb] the sound
_ [Eb] Of his magnificent [Gm] chariot
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
Jesus is [Eb] smiling to see [Bb] him _ light up the [Eb] sky
_ [Bb] He's _ trying to [Eb] tell us not [Gm] to _ [F] tremble and cry
The [Eb] _ _ rain [Bb] is his teardrops _ [Eb] _ and [Bb] thunders the sound
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
