G Em On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert C G I pick up my money and head back into town Em Driving cross the Waynesboro county line C G I got the radio on and I'm just killing time Em G Working all day in my daddy's garage Em Am Driving all night chasing some mirage C D7 Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge Chorus: G C G The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand Em C If I could take one moment G into my hands, C G Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man Em C G And I believe in a promised land I've done my best to live the right way I get up every morning and go to work each day But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode Explode and tear this whole town apart Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart Find somebody itching for something to start Chorus: The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could reach one moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man And I believe in a promised land Well there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted Chorus: The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand If I could take one moment into my hands Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man And I believe in a promised land And I believe in a promised land And I believe in a promised land | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D7  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
