Thunder Road Bruce Springsteen
I thought I'd upload a slightly easier capo'ed version. It's basically the same as
the others but I think the Boss plays with a capo. :)
Capo 1st fret - all chords relative
Intro - E A E B E C#m A B
The s[E]creen door slams,[A] Mary's dr[E]ess waves
Like a [E]vision she dances ac[B]ross the porch as the r[A]adio plays
Roy O[A]rbison singing for the l[B]onely
Hey that's [E]me and I want you o[A]nly
Don't turn me h[A]ome again I j[E]ust can't face my[B]self alone again
Don't r[E]un back inside darling, y[A]ou know just what I'm h[E]ere for
So you're s[E]cared and you're thinking that m[B]aybe we ain't that y[A]oung anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the n[B]ight
You ain't a b[E]eauty but hey, you're alr[A]ight
Oh and t[E]hat's alright with [B]me
You can h[E]ide 'neath your covers and s[C#m]tudy your pain
Make c[E]rosses from your lovers, t[A]hrow roses in the rain[E]
Waste your summers p[G#m]rayin' in vain for a s[A]aviour to rise from these s[B7]treets
Well now I[E]'m no hero, that's u[C#m]nderstood
All the red[E]emption I can offer, girl, is b[A]eneath this dirty hood[E]
With a chance to make it g[G#m]ood somehow
Hey, w[A]hat else can we do [B7]now
Except r[E]oll down the window and l[A]et the wind roll b[E]ack your hair
Well, the n[E]ight's bustin' open these t[B]wo lanes'll take us [A]anywhere
We got [A]one last chance to make it [B]real
To t[F]rade in these wings on so[A]me wheels
[A]Climbin' back e[F]veryone's waitin' down [B]on the tracks
[E]Whoa, oh, come [C#m]take my hand
[E]Right now, tonight to[A] case the promised land[E]
Whoa-oa-[G#m]oh Thunder Road, [A]oh Thunder Road, [B7]oh Thunder Road[E]
Lyin' out there like a k[C#m]iller in the sun
[E]I know it's late we c[A]an make it if we run
[E]Whoa-oa-oa-[G#m]oh Thunder Road, sit t[A]ight, take h[B7]old, Thunder R[E]oad
Well I g[A]ot this guitar and I l[B]earned how to make it talk[E]
And my c[C#m]ar's out back if you're ready to take the l[A]ong w[B]alk
From your f[A]ront porch to my front s[B]eat
The door's [G#m]open but the ride ain't [C#m]free
And [A]I know you're lonely for words and I ain't spoke
Ton[B]ight will be free, all our promises will be broke
And there were g[E]hosts in the eyes of [A]all the boys you s[E]ent away
They haunt this d[E]usty beach road in the s[B]keleton frames of b[A]urned out Chevrolets
They s[A]cream your name at night in the st[B]reet
Your graduation g[E]own lies in rags at their f[A]eet
And in the l[G#m]onely cool before dawn
You hear their e[A]ngines rolling on
When you [F#m]get to the porch they're g[B]one on the r[A]oad
So Mary climb [F#m]in
It's a t[A]own full of losers, I'm p[B]ulling out of here to [E]win
Sax solo - E B E A E B A B
Hope this helps! :)
