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
