"Thunder, aah"x7
After repeating the tab shown above 10 times, the second uke will start playing this
rhythmic G and E picking pattern. It is best to listen to the song to get a feel
for the rhythm of this part. You can also use the strumming pattern above with the chord 023X
as a replacement for this pattern.

♫ Verse :
The two tabs below here are what your 2 ukes are going to be playing for "I was caught in the
middle of a railroad track" through "There was no help, no help from you"(lyrics).
I was caught, in the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I looked around, and I knew there was no turnin' back (thunder)
My mind raced, and i thought "what could i do " (thunder)
And I knew, there was no help, no help from you (thunder)

Beatin' in my heart
The thunder of guns (yeah)

For "You've been- Thunderstruck" stop the baseline and play a 023X chord at the end of the line.
♫ Verse :
Went down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas
Yeah, Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah-yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
♫ Pre-Chorus:
For the section before the chorus, starting with "They blew our minds". As soon as the singer has said
"minds" you will stop the rhythmic E and G picking and play this:
A|-----|
E|3-1--|
C|----0|
G|0-0-0|
"And I was shakin' at the knees"
A|-------|
E|1-3-1--|

"Yeah the ladies were too kind"
A|-------|
E|1-3-1--|

G|0-0-0-0|
♫ Chorus:
"You've been- Thunderstruck"
And onto the chorus.
For the chorus, you are going to keep playing the 2 parts you have been playing for the majority
of the song and replace the newer baseline part with this
A|--------------------|
E|3---1-------1-------|
C|--------0-2-----0---|
G|0---0---0-0-0---0---|
Thunderstruck
Yeah, yeah, yeah thunderstruck
Ooh, thunderstruck

♫ Solo:

Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Yeah, yeah, yeah thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,
♫ Bridge 2:
The very last section where we hear "Yeah, it's alright, We're, doing fine"
will once again replace the baseline with this:
A|--------------|
E|3------0------|
C|-----2---0----|
G|0----0-0-0----|
Said yeah, it's alright, we're, doing fine
Yeah, it's alright, we're, doing fine, so fine
baseline switch:

E|3---1-------1-------|
C|--------0-2-----0---|
G|0---0---0-0-0---0---|
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Whoa, baby, baby (Thunderstruck)
You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
You've been thunderstruck
Ending:
After the final "thunderstruck" everything will stop except for the
fast G and A string plucking tab. This part will repeat twice and slow down considerably as it does.
Song ends on a strong 023X chord.
