Verse 1:
Am G
At the textile plant, sixteen dead
C Am
There's a hornet's nest inside my head
Am G
My daughter's gone, she won't be back
C Am
Behind chained doors, they burned to black
Am G
Walk down the street to the convenience store
C Am
I be keeping a secret in my top dresser drawer
Am G
Red light flashing, siren coming loud
C Am
The trap is sprung, I greet the crowd
Chorus:
Am G Am
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains
Am G Am
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day
C G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain
Am G Am
God's branding iron bares my name
Am G Am
I'm making a list and checking it twice
Am G Am
You name the place, I name the price
C G
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath
Am G Am
And wave goodbye when nothing's left
Verse 2:
Am G
There is no tether to hold me back
C Am
There's just one answer, there's just one path
Am G
There's just one reason, there's just one end
C Am
There's just regret, there's just revenge
Am G
Tonight the tower, the bells will chime
C Am
Clear and true, one final time
Chorus:
Am G Am
I'm a thousand tornadoes screaming across the plains
Am G Am
I'm Gabriel's horn on Judgement Day
C G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain
Am G Am
God's branding iron bares my name
Am G Am
I'm making a list and checking it twice
Am G Am
You name the place, I name the price
C G
If you're feeling lucky, then hold your breath
Am G Am
And wave goodbye when nothing's left

Outro:
Am G Am
I'm down the street from the convenience store
Am G Am
I've been keeping a secret I don't wanna keep anymore
C G
I'm months of darkness, I'm years of rain
Am G Am
God's branding iron bares my name
Peace and hope you enjoy!
