Bruce Springsteen - The Promise - Live Piano (I need more piano) chords
Start Jamming...
[F] All right, this is a song I wrote as a kind of a follow up to Thunder Road, I wrote a long time ago.
And it's for the connoisseurs out there I guess, you know.
I'll give it a shot.
I need a little bit of quiet.
One, two.
Here we go.
[Bb]
[C] [F]
[Bb]
[C] [F]
Johnny works in a factory,
[Bb]
Billy works downtown,
[F]
[Dm] Terry works in a rock and roll band, looking for [Gm] that [A] million dollar [Bb] song.
[F] I got a job down in Dahlia, [Bb] but some nights I don't [F] go.
[Dm] Some nights I go to the drive [Gm]-in, some nights [G] I stay [Bb] home.
Follow that dream, just like those guys do [F] way up on the [Bb]
street.
I drove that Challenger down Route 9, through the dead [F] ends and all the [Bb] bad sands.
[F] And when the promise [C] was broken, I chased it and I feared my own [F] end.
[C]
Well, [F] I built that Challenger by myself, but I needed [Bb] money and so I [F] sold it.
[Dm] I looked up secret, I should have kept to myself, but I [Gm] got drunk one night and [D]
I told [Bb] it.
[Dm] Well, all my life [Am] I fought that fight, the [Gm] fight that you [D]
can never [Bb] win.
[F] And every day it just gets [C] harder to live that dream of a man and [F] you.
Well, thunder [Gm] [D] rolls,
[Bb]
baby [C] you were so [F] right.
And thunder [Gm] [A]
rolls, [Bb]
something died down [C] on the highway [F] tonight.
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
Well, now [F] I won game one, say and I hit the post.
Yeah, but [Bb] somehow I paid the [F] cost.
I [Dm] felt like I was carrying the broken spirit [Gm] of all the other ones who were [Bb] lost.
And when the [Dm] promise is broken, you go [Am] on living, but [Gm] it steals something [Dm] from down in your [Bb] soul.
[F] Like when the truth is spoken and [C] it don't make no difference, something in your heart goes [F] cold.
Well, [Bb] I followed that dream through the southwestern trench and the [F] dead ends and the two bed [Bb] bars.
[C] And when the promise was broken, I was far away from home, sleeping in the backseat of a borrowed [F] car.
[Gm] [A]
Thunder [Bb] rolls, is one for the lost lovers [C] and all the fixed [F] gains.
Thunder [Gm] [A] rolls, [Bb]
is for the tires rushing [C]
by in [F] the rain.
[Gm] [A]
[Bb] Thunder rolls, in the abyss [C] we'd always [F] see.
Thunder [Gm]
[A] rolls, [Bb]
and we're gonna take it all and throw it [C] all [F] away.
[Bb]
[C]
