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
