Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Song: Thunder Road
Capo 3
Play in D; actually in F.
 
D                 G              D A D
Screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
       D                   F#m                    G
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
                            A                  D                  G
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
                               D                     A
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
      D                         G                      D       A D
Don't run back inside, darlin', you know just what I'm here for
          D
So you're scared and you're thinking that
F#m                 G
Maybe we ain't that young any more
                                          A
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
            D                         G
You ain't a beauty but eh, you're all right
        D                   A
Oh, and that's alright with me
 
        D                           Bm
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain,
     D                               G
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
D                   F#m                   G                         A
  Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
             D                 Bm
Well, now I'm no hero that's understood
          D                              G
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
D                        F#m                G                   A
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey, what else can we do now except
D                        G                 D              A D
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
          D                          F#m                    G
Well, the night's busted open, these two lanes will take us anywhere
                                  A
We got one last chance to make it real
    D                           G
To trade in these wings on some wheels
               D                     A
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks
 
D         Bm                   D                    G
Ohh, come take my hand, we're ridin' out tonight to case the Promised Land
D F#m            G                A
Oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
D                      Bm
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
D                             G
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
D F#m                G           A             D
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
 
        G                         A                  D
Well, I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
       Bm                                          G    A
And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk
          G                       A
From your front porch to my front seat
           F#m                     Bm
The door's open but the ride ain't free
      G                                         Em
Well, I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken
  A
Tonight we'll be free - all the promises'll be broken
           D                     G                     D
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                D                       F#m
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
G
Burned-out Chevrolets
            G                            A
They scream your name at night in the street
                D                          G
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
           F#m                                    G
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
         G                 A                   G                  Em
When you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
       G                        A                      D
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win
