Thunderball Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro riff

play the Am with a little hitch in your strum):

Then: Am played with a Luther Perkins-style alternating bass.

Verse one

AmThere is a rumble in the sky and all the Gworld can hear it call

 They Amshudder at the fury of the Fmighty ThunderAmball

 The power of her engines, now, has Gdrowned in the sea

 But the Amdeadly force from within her is Fsomewhere running Amfree

Chorus

FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

 And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand

Verse two

AmSomewhere, there is a man who could Gstop the thing in time

 He is Amknown by very few but he's Ffeared by all in Amcrime

 By courage and by fighting, he has Gnot been known to fall

 But Amneither has the fury of the Fmighty ThunderAmball

FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

 And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand

Verse three

AmMoney hungry minds need a Gthreat to launch a scheme

 But Amthose, who hold the Thunderball, could Frule the world, it Amseems

 Cannot the peaceful world find the Gclue to where she's gone

 The Amsilent sea won't answer now but Fterror lingers Amon

FThunderball, your Cfiery breath can Fburn the coldest Cman

 And Fwho is going to Csuffer from the Dmpower in your Amhand
