[Verse 1]
E A
Well there's some big black clouds that's a blowin in from the west
E B7
I've been drivin' all day, Lord, I sure could use some rest
E Am
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
E Am B7 E
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
[Verse 2]
E A
I grew up on the road from town to town
E B7
My daddy's line of work kept us movin' around
E Am
I got fond memories of the way things were back then
E Am B7 E
The warmth of the neon when a cold storm’s movin’ in
[Chorus]
Am E
Listen to the Oprey in a small café
Am E
When we stop to get a bite along the way
Am E
Whenever I hear those wheels begin to whine
Am B7
It takes me back to another time
[Verse 3]
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 Am
And it looks like it'll be rainin’ for quite some time
E Am B7 E
Mixed with the lightnin' is the glow from a neon sign
[Interlude]
E A E B7 E Am E Am B7 E
[Chorus]
E A
Well there's some big black clouds that's a blowin’ in from the west
E B7
I've been drivin' all day Lord, I sure could use some rest
E Am
And there's a motel up ahead where I can unwind
E Am B7 E
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
E Am B7 E
Cause I sure love thunderstorms and neon signs
