[Verse 1]
       Fmaj7                    C
I was taken by surprise by the thunder
Gmaj7                     Bm7
Sit and stared out at the rain
Fmaj7               C
Taken back, I was younger
   A            Bm7      A A A   Bm7 Bm7
In a vacant lot day.


[Verse 2]
       Fmaj7                   C
And the Fall brought an Indian Summer
    Gmaj7                Bm7
And plenty of places to play


[Chorus]
      Fmaj7                 C         A  Bm7 Bm7 A Bm7 Bm7 Bm7
I can still hear them calling. (Far away)
E      A        E  Bm7  E11  A         A  Bm7
I can hear thunder.                               (far away)


[Verse 3]
        Fmaj7
Well the summers are hot and the winters get cold
Gmaj7                  Bm7
Not a lot smarter, but another year old
Fmaj7                     C
Sometimes I'm still at the fishing hole

A A   Am7 Am7


[Verse 4]
         Fmaj7                              C
And you never needed bait where we used to go
        Gmaj7               Bm7
Just a safety pin hook on a bamboo pole
Fmaj7
Take the big ones home; let the
C                 A  Bm7 Bm7
little ones go.  (far away)
E11    A        A Bm7 Bm7
I can hear thunder
A                A Bm7 Bm7 Bm7
Walking down the alley.

[Verse 5]
Fmaj7                      C
And it's not as easy as it used to be
Gmaj7                      Bm7
Finding time to let my mind wander
Fmaj7                    C
I can still hear.'em calling ...
