Biography:
Thunder is a five-piece melodic hard rock band from the United Kingdom that formed in 1989, after singer Danny Bowes, guitarist Luke Morley, and drummer Gary "Harry" James left the group Terraplane. Soon joined by bassist Mark "Snake" Luckhurst and guitarist Ben Matthews, Thunder's first album, 1990's Backstreet Symphony, earned commercial and critical acclaim. The guys followed it with a well-received 'Monsters of Rock' festival performance that year.

THE RAIN
THUNDER
INTRO: D C G D F G D
VERSE:
D C G D
The sun beats down on this thirsting land
F G D
Burning my will away
D C G D
It's many a mile from the eastern shore
F G D
And the hope I felt that day
D C G D
We crossed the sea from the old country
F G D
To the promised land we came
D C G D
And then we headed west on a thankless quest
F G D
To the place we staked our claim
CHORUS:
Bm
Now the eagle that's circling overhead,
D G D D
He knows my name
Bm F#
'Cause the only thing plentiful here is the
Em
Dust on the plain
A D D G D F G D
Until God brings the rain
VERSE:
D C G D
Wasn't always this way, back in the day
F G D
All life sprang from this ground
D C
But like a slow-burning curse
G D
Every year's gotten worse
F G D
So someday it must turn around
CHORUS:
Bm
As the wagons are rolling on out
D G D D
They call me insane
Bm F#
But I'm not gonna let this land break me,
Em
I'll be staying
A D D G D
Until God brings the rain
INSTRUMENTAL:

BREAK:
Am
God help me

Don't you forsake me this way

How much suffering

Must I stand in your name?

I'm only asking for rain

D C G D F G D
D C G D F G D
VERSE:
D C G D
The sun sits high in a cruel blue sky
F G D
Mocking me every day
D C G D
Last night I cried when a storm passed by
F G D
About fifteen miles away
D C G D
In a dream I saw the coast once more
F G D
And I walked into the sea
D C
I'd have been happy to die
G D
As that moment passed by
F G D
But I woke to this misery
CHORUS:
Bm
And the way things are going
D G D D
I don't know how much more I can take
Bm
Well, I'm no kind of quitter
F# Em
But how long can any man wait
A Em
How long must I wait
A D D G D
'Til God brings the rain?
