Off of The Dirty South
This ones pretty simple, just one chord progression and then a riff.
Intro: Dmaj Amaj Gmaj Dmaj
Verse 1:
Dmaj Amaj
The clouds started forming at five o'clock pm
Gmaj
The funnel clouds touched down
Dmaj
five miles north of Russellville
Dmaj Amaj
Sirens were blowing, clouds spat rain
Gmaj Dmaj
and as the things came threw, it sounded like a train
Verse 2:
"It came without no warning" said Bobbi Jo McLean
She and husband Nolen always loved to watch the rain
It sucked him out the window, he ain't come home again
All she can remember is "It sounded like a train"
Bridge: (no chord, play riff 4x before lyrics, but mix it up some)

I've put an X at about where you should start the riff
X X
Pieces of that truck stop, litter up the highway, I been told
X Dmaj
And I hear that missing trucker ended up in Kansas
Amaj Gmaj Dmaj
(or maybe it was Oz).
Dmaj Amaj Gmaj Dmaj
Verse 3:
The Nightmare Tour ended for my band and me
the night all the s**t went down
A homecoming concert, the night the tornadoes hit my hometown.
The few who braved the weather got sucked out the auditorium
I can still remember the sound of their applause in the rain
as it echoed through them storm clouds, I swear, It sounded like a train.
