Lyrics

Just a young gun with a quick fuse, I was up tight, want to let loose.

I was dream ing of big ger things and want to leave my own life be hind.

Not a yes sir, not a fol low er.

Fit the box, fit the mold, have a seat in the (F)foy er, take a num ber.

I was light ning be fore the thun der, thun der.

(C)Thun der, thun der, thun, thun der, thu thu thun der, thun der.

(Am)Thun der, thun der, thun, (F)thun der, thu thu thun der, thun der.

(C)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der.

(Am)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der, (C)thun der.

Thun der.

Kids were laugh ing in my class es while I was schem ing for the mass es.

(F)“Who do you think you are

dream ing ’bout be ing a big star?”

You say you’re bas ic, you say you’re eas y, you’re al ways rid ing in the back seat.

Now I’m smil ing from the stage while you were clap ping in the nose bleeds.

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

(CN.C.)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

(C)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

(Am)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

(C)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

(Am)Thun der, feel the thun der,

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

light ning and the thun der, thun der.

Is there a karaoke version of "Thunder" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Thunder" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Thunder" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
