Chorus:
F                  C 
Look Out Cleveland, the storm is coming through
Dm Em     F            G      C
And it's running right up on you
F                C 
Look out Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Dm Em    F              G      C7
Bye-bye baby don't you lie so still

G7                                   C
Was Wednesday evening when first we heard the word
G7                            C
It did not come by train nor bird
E7                                  Am
T'was when Ben Pike stepped down to say
F          G                  C
"This old town's gonna blow away"

Chorus:
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still

Chain lightnin', frightnin' as it may seem
Must not be mistaken for just another dream
Justice of the peace don't know his own fate
But you'll go down in the shelter late

Chorus:
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still

Hidin' your money won't do no good, no good
Build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah
When clouds of warnin' come into view
It'll get the ol' woman right outta of her shoe

Chorus:
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
