[ Предположительная тональность: C ] Ballad Of Thunder Road:Robert Mitchum. #62 on BB Hot 100 on U/A Records in 1958. INTRO: Cm #1. Cm Let me tell the story, I can tell it all. G7 C About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol. Cm His daddy made the whiskey, son, he drove the load. G7 When his engine roared, they called the F C highway Thunder Road. #2. Cm Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town. G7 C The revenuers chased him but they couldn't run him down. C Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode. G7 F He'd go by like they were standin' still on C Thunder Road. CHORUS: F C And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road. G7 C Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load. Fm C There was moonshine, moonshine, to quench the Devil's thirst. G7 C The law they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him first. #3. Cm On the first of April, nineteen fifty-four.. G7 C a Federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more. C He said, two hundred agents were coverin' the state. G7 F Whichever road he tried to take, they'd get him sure C as fate. #4. Cm Son, his Daddy told him, make this run your last. G7 C The tank is filled with hundred-proof, you're all tuned up and gassed. C Now, don't take any chances, if you can't get through. G7 F C I'd rather have you back again than all that mountain dew. CHORUS: F C And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road. G7 C Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load. Fm C There was moonshine, moonshine, to quench the Devil's thirst. G7 C The law they swore they'd get him, but the Devil got him first. #5. Cm G7 Roarin' out of Harlan, revvin' up his mil..he shot the C gap at Cumberland, and screamed by Maynardville. C With T-men on his taillights, roadblocks up ahead.. G7 C the mountain boy took roads that even Angels feared to tred. #6. Cm Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike, G7 C then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike. C He left the road at ninety, that's all there is to say. G7 F C The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day. CHORUS: F C And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road. G7 C Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load. Fm C There was moonshine, moonshine, to quench the Devil's thirst. G7 C The law they never got him, cause the Devil got him first. OUTRO: G7 C The law they never got him, cause the Devil got him first. Cm (Thunder, Thunder, Thunder Road.) A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
