♫ Verse 1:
C                   F                C
Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road too
          Am                        G             C
There’s a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
    C                             F          C
And please don’t ask me how these last years went
        Am                        G   C
Mama, I made a million dollars on accident
C                       F        C
I was supposed to die a military man,
          Am             G           C
Chest out too far with a drink in my hand
    C                       F          C
But I’ve got folks who like hearing me rhyme
           Am                        F       C
I think of thunder under metal roofs all the time
      C                    F          C
Why’s everyone acting like they ain’t human?
        Am                              G        C
Take me back to green grass and knowin’ what I’s doin
     C             F            C
‘Cuz I just need a friend right now
Am                      G          C
Sittin’ close until the daylight’s out
         G                     F       C
It ain’t been my week it ain’t been my year
      Am                   G        C
And I hate to admit I just need you here.

♫ Chorus:
              F
So close your eyes
                           C
Do you think of when you’s younger
                    G
Won’t you rest your mind
                    Am
Smell that Northern Thunder
              F
So close your eyes
                     C
I pray you see those memories
                  G                           Am
The way this life blackens all the things you used to be
              F
So close your eyes
                        C
Do you think when you’s younger
          G
Rest your mind
                        Am
And smell that Northern Thunder
                     F
Won’t you close your eyes
                    C
Think of what this used to be
                  G                         Am
The way this life blackens all your younger memories
