  			E                    
Well there' some big black clouds 
                       A  
That's blowin from the west 
           E 
I've been drivin all day  
                           B7 
Lord,I sure could use some rest 
              E                            A 
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind 
        E                A           B7   E    
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs 
E                                   A 
I grew up on the road from town to town 
    E                                 B7 
My dady's line of work kept us movin around 
       E                                         A 
I got fond memories of the way things were back then 
      E                 A            B7            E  
The warmth of the neon when a cold storm is movin in 
 
 
Am                            E  
Listen to the opry in a small cafe 
         Am                           E  
When we stop to get a bite along the way 
Am                                   E    
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine 
Am                           B7 
It takes me back to another time 
 
        E                                A 
I got a real nice room with a radio and TV 
          E                                B7 
This here motel livin is the only life for me 
         E                                        A  
And it looks like it'll be rainin for quite some time 
E                                A         B7     E  
Mixed with the lightning is the glow from a neon sign 
 
Am                             E 
Listen to the opry in a small cafe 
         Am                           E  
When we stop to get a bite along the way 
Am                                   E 
Whenever I hear the wheels begin to whine 
Am                          B7   
It takes me back to another time 
 
                  E 
Well there's some big black clouds 
                        A 
That's blowin from the west 
           E  
I've been drivin all day  
                            B7 
Lord,I sure could use some rest 
              E                             A  
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind 
         E               A          B7    E  
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs 
         E               A          B7     E   
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
