Clarence on the sax solo in Jungleland.
You had him there for 16 hours.
You wanted it just right.
That's correct.
A lot of guys would have walked out, right?
And said, you know, fuck this guy.
I'm, you know, it's too much for me.
Well, you have to find people with no place else to go. _
That's your first important thing when putting your band together.
Don't find people that have options.
Where were you when you came up with that piano intro?
Did you hear Charlie [D] Puth playing it?
Yeah, he could really play [Dm] it.
And his funny thing is I can't play it [Gb] anymore.
You can't?
No.
What do [Eb] you mean you can't play it anymore?
I don't remember it.
[C] What do you mean?
You don't [A] remember how you_
No, I can't play the whole thing anymore.
I can play back streets, I'll bet.
Let me see.
[Em] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ See, I [C] wrote Most Born to Run on the piano,
which is why the whole record was really written on my aunt's
little Aeolian piano.
Wow.
And so that's why all the songs [F] have
the _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
screen door [Bb] slams, [F] Mary's dress ways.
_ I can envision she dances [Am] across the porch [Bb] as a radio plays.
Roy Orbison singing for the [C] lonely.
Hey, [F] that's me and I want you [Bb] only.
Don't turn me on again.
[F] I just can't face [C] myself alone again.
All written on a piano, [C] you know.
Don't [F] you run back inside, [Bb] darling, you know just what [F] I'm here for.
So you're scared and you're thinking [Am] that maybe we ain't [Bb] that young anymore.
Show a little faith, this [C] magic in the night.
[F] You ain't a beauty, but you're alright.
[Bb] _ _
Well, that's [C] alright with me.
_ [F] You can hide beneath your covers [Dm] and study your pain.
[F] Make crosses from your lovers, [Bb] throw roses in the [F] rain.
Waste your summer [Am] prayed in vain for [Bb] a savior to rise from these [C] streets.
[F] Well, I'm no hero [Dm] that's understood.
[F] All redemption I can offer is [Bb] beneath this dirty hood
[F] with a chance to make it good somehow.
[Bb] What else can we do [G] now?
Except [F] roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair.
_ Well, the lights busted open.
[Am] These two lanes will [Bb] take us anywhere.
_ We got one last chance [C] to make it real.
[F] The trade in these wings [Bb] on some wheels
_ climbing back heavens [C] waiting down on the tracks.
_ _ [F] Oh, [Dm] come take my hand.
[F] We're riding out tonight [Bb] to case the promised [F] land.
Whoa, Thunder Road.
[Bb] Oh, Thunder Road, Thunder [C] Road.
Well, [F] it's light out there like a [Dm] killer in the sun.
[F] Hey, I know it's late, but we can [Bb] make it if we run.
_ [F] Whoa, Thunder Road.
Sit tight.
[C] Take hold.
[F] Thunder Road.
_ So it was all written on the piano.
Finally got me to cry on the air.
It's the first time ever.
[N] Wow.
It's all written on the piano and all the little intros
and the big jungle and intro road all on the piano. _ _ _ _
