G

sometimes memphis town the revenuers chased him but they

C

never brought him down each time they thought they had

G

C

were standing still on thunder road (chorus) and there

F C G

C

engine and white lightning was his load there was

F C G

with G men on his tail lights road blocks up ahead the
