Tom: F#5

Intro: F#5  E5  B5  F#5

       F#5  E5  B5

F#5                       E5   
        I was born in the jungle 
         B5                 F#5
With the sickening smell of cinnamon in the air 
F#5              E5
       Born in a white hole 
      B5      A5         D5      E5      F#5
and I can't believe the colors here today
           E5
Stuck on a circle 
     B5                      F#5
I've never been blessed with elephant's memory 
F#5             E5          B5  
       Riding a red line nowhere 


   D5        A5  G5             B5        A5
If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for 
   D5        A5  G5              B5     A5   
If it takes 40 years, put the money away 
   D5        A5  G5                B5            A5
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir 
   D5        A5  G5                B5              A5       D5   E5
If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain 


F#5                     E5           
        I was born in a good home 
          B5             F#5
Where the rising cost of raising children 
F#5              E5
       Was not a factor 
      B5      A5         D5         A5       F#5
And I can't believe the things it does to me 
                    E5 
I'm filled with the white noise 
       B5                F#5                  
Well I never did much of anything anyway
 F#5             E5           B5 
       Jump on a big train nowhere 


   D5        A5  G5            B5         A5
If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for 
   D5        A5  G5              B5     A5   
If it takes 40 years, put the money away 
   D5        A5  G5                B5            A5
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir 
   D5        A5  G5                B5              A5      
If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain 
F5                     C5                 G5                 D5
   I'm gonna buy me a good heart, and a conscience, maybe raise some children
F5     C5                       G5
    Get me a good wife, and a God and God and God and God and 
F5              C5               G5              D5    
    Start me a new life with a six foot color television 
F5              C5            G5      A5   E5
    Start me a new life somewhere 


F#5                     E5  
        I was born on a warm night 
       B5                F#5
On the right coast, southeastern America 
F#5              E5
       Dead on arrival 
        B5      A5         D5          E5      F#5
But you can't believe the things you hear today 
              E5                B5
I'll fly me a white plane over water 
     F#5 
Over blue and green and
F#5                 E5         B5
        Land in the ocean somewhere 
   D5        A5  G5             B5         A5
If it takes 40 years for the guns to be paid for 
   D5        A5  G5              B5     A5   
If it takes 40 years, put the money away 
   D5        A5  G5                B5            A5
If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir 
   D5        A5  G5                      B5                  
If it takes 40 years well I want that thunder 
A5                    G5     B5   A5
Yeah and I want that rain 
                     G5   
Oh  well I want that rain
B5                    A5
     Come on now, now gimme the thunder, gimme the thunder 
          G5     B5    A5
Gimme the rain
            G5                B5              A5
I want that rain, I want the thunder and the rain
