Bruce Springsteen: "Thunder Road"

---------------------------------

Here's a rather famous Springsteen song. I like this one because it can

be played at many different tempos. I especially like the acoustic version

on the Live album. Enjoy.

The words may not all be completely correct and I don't put the key changes

over the exact syllable, so sorry. I know one line isn't transcribed

correctly, so if anyone has a clue, even if in another key, let me know!!

thanks.

Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen

------------ transcribed tat

G C G-D-G

Screen door slams, Mary's dress waves

Bm C

Like a vision dancing across the porch as the radio plays

D G C

Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only

G D

Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again

Don't run back inside, honey, you know just what I'm here for

And you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that

young any more

show a little faith, there's magic in the night

You ain't a beauty but eh, you're alright

Oh and that's alright with me

G D G C

Ohh come take my hand We're ridin out tonight to case the Promised Land

G Bm C D

Oh Thunder Road, Oh Thunder road, Oh Thunder Road

G Bm

Lyin' out there like a killer in the dark

G C

Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run

G Bm C D G

Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road

C D G

So I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk

Em C D

And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk

C D

From your front porch to my front seat

Bm Em

Door's open but the ride ain't free

C C- Am7 Am

Well I know you've been waiting for words that I ain't spoken

D D+ D- D7

Well tonight we'll be free--all the promises will be broken

(if anyone knows better chords to that last line, let me know!!!)

There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away

They drive this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of

burned-out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street

Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet

And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on

Until you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in

It's a town full of losers and we're pulling out of here to win

OK, some wierd chords here.

G C Bm D Em C- Am7 Am D+ D-
