Thunderstorms and Neon Signs
by Wayne Hancock
Also sung by Hank Williams III on his Risin Outlaw record
transcribed by Rob Hart
(E) There's big black clouds blowin in from the (A) west
I've been (E) drivin all day lord I sure could use some (B7) rest
There's a (E) motel up ahead where I can (A) unwind
Cause I (E) sure love thunder (B7)storms and neon signs (E)
I grew up on the road from town to town
My daddy's line of work kept us movin around
I got fond memories of the way things were back then
The warmth of a neon when a cold storms movin in
CHORUS
(A) Listen to the opry in a small (E) cafˇ
(A) When we stop to get a bite along the (E) way
(A) Whenever I hear the wheels begin to (E) wine
(A) It takes me back to another (B7) time
I got a real nice room with a radio and TV
This here motel livin is the only life for me
And it looks like it'll be rainin for quite some time
And mixed with the lightening is the glow from a neon sign
SOLO VERSE PATTERN
CHORUS
There's a big black cloud blowin in from the west
I've been drivin all day lord I sure could use some rest
There's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
Lord I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
