Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road: Guitar Chords

       F             A#         F
The screen door slams  Mary's dress waves
        F
Like a vision she dances
   C                     A#
across the porch As the radio plays
                             C
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
            F                A#
Hey that's me and I want you only
                             F
Don't turn me home again I just can't face
   C
myself alone again

Don't run back inside
Darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared, and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me

         F                           Dm
You can hide neath your covers And study your pain
       F
Make crosses from your lovers
      A#                F
Throw roses in the rain
                   Am
Waste your summer praying in vain
       A#                           C7
For a saviour to rise from these streets
          F
Well now I'm no hero
       Dm                     F
That's understood  All the redemption
                       A#
I can offer, girl Is beneath this dirty hood
F                          Am
 With a chance to make it good somehow
      A#                 C7
Hey what else can we do now
        F
Except roll down the window
 A#                     F
And let the wind blow back your hair

Well the night's busting open
        C                    A#
These two lanes will take us anywhere
                                   C
We got one last chance to make it real
     F                            A#
To trade in these wings on some wheels

Climb in back
  F                  C
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
F           Dm
Oh oh come take my hand
 F                    A#
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
F  Am               A#              C7
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
 F                      Dm
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
    F
Hey I know it's late
        A#
we can make it if we run
 F         Am         A#          C7           F
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold  Thunder Road

       A#
Well I got this guitar
       C                        F
And I learned how to make it talk
       Dm
And my car's out back
                              A#   C
If you're ready to take that long walk
           A#                      C
From your front porch to my front seat

            Am                          Dm
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
       A#              F/A
And I know you're lonely
             Gm7      A#/F
For words that I ain't spoken
       C
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
             F
There were ghosts in the eyes
      A#              F
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
         C                 A#
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
                                            C
They scream your name at night in the street
                F
Your graduation gown lies in rags at
    A#
their feet
             Am
And in the lonely cool before dawn
               A#
You hear their engines roaring on
             Gm                        C
But when you get to the porch they're gone
       A#                  Gm
On the wind, so Mary climb in
        A#
It's a town full of losers
         C                      F
And I'm pulling out of here to win.
