then : Am played with a luther perkins – style alternating bass .

verse one :

Am G
there is a rumble in the sky and all the world can hear it call

Am F Am
they shudder at the fury of the mighty thunderball

G
the power of her engines , now , has drowned in the sea

Am F Am
but the deadly force from within her is somewhere running free

chorus :

F C F C
thunderball , your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

F C Dm Am
and who is going to suffer from the power in your hand

verse two :

Am G
somewhere , there is a man who could stop the thing in time

Am F Am
he is known by very few but he’s feared by all in crime

G
by courage and by fighting , he has not been known to fall

Am F Am
but neither has the fury of the mighty thunderball

F C F C
thunderball , your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

F C Dm Am
and who is going to suffer from the power in your hand

verse three :

Am G
money hungry minds need a threat to launch a scheme

Am F Am
but those , who hold the thunderball , could rule the world , it seems

G
cannot the peaceful world find the clue to where she’s gone

Am F Am
the silent sea won’t answer now but terror lingers on

F C F C
thunderball , your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

F C Dm Am
and who is going to suffer from the power in your hand
