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

VERSE ONE:


A minorAm                    G+G
There is a rumble in the sky and all the world can hear it call

   A minorAm             FF       A minorAm
They shudder at the fury of the mighty Thunderball

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

    A minorAm               FF         A minorAm
But the deadly force from within her is somewhere running free


CHORUS:

FF         C majorC        FF        C majorC
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

  FF        C majorC        DmDm      A minorAm
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand


VERSE TWO:

A minorAm                 G+G
Somewhere, there is a man who could stop the thing in time

   A minorAm             FF        A minorAm
He is known by very few but he's feared by all in crime

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

  A minorAm             FF       A minorAm
But neither has the fury of the mighty Thunderball

FF         C majorC        FF        C majorC
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

  FF        C majorC        DmDm      A minorAm
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand


VERSE THREE:

A minorAm            G+G
Money hungry minds need a threat to launch a scheme

  A minorAm                   FF         A minorAm
But those, who hold the Thunderball, could rule the world, it seems

                  G+G
Cannot the peaceful world find the clue to where she's gone

  A minorAm               FF       A minorAm
The silent sea won't answer now but terror lingers on


FF         C majorC        FF        C majorC
Thunderball, your fiery breath can burn the coldest man

  FF        C majorC        DmDm      A minorAm
And who is going to suffer from the power in your hand
