Chords for Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road - London 2012 HD

_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ I wanted to start with something special tonight.
This is the first thing we played when my feet first
touched British soil in _ 1979.
_ A little love [F] letter for you to start. _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] Screen door [Bb] slams, _ _ [F] Mary's dress sways. _ _
_ _ [C] _ [F] Like a vision, she dances [C] across the porch [Bb] as the radio plays. _
_ _ _ Roy Orbison singing [F] for the lonely.
_ _ That's me and I want [Bb] you only.
_ Don't turn me on again. _
[F] I just can't face [C] myself alone anymore. _ _
_ _ Well, [F] don't you run back [Bb] inside, darling.
You know [F] just what I'm here for. _ _
_ [C] _ So you're [F] scared and you're thinking [C] that maybe we ain't so.
[Bb] Well, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] that's all right with me. _ _ _
_ _ You [F] can hide beneath your covers and [Dm] study your pain.
_ [F] Make crosses from your lover, [Bb] throw roses in the rain.
[F] _ Waste your summer [Am] praying in vain [Bb] for a savior
to rise from these [C] streets.
_ _ [F] Well, I'm no hero [Dm] that's understood.
_ [F] All the redemption I can offer, [Bb] girls
beneath this dirty [F] hood with a chance to make it [Am] good somehow.
[Bb] Hey, what else can we [C] do now [D] _ [F] except roll down the [Am] window
[Bb] and let the wind blow [F] back your hair?
_ _ [Em] [F] Well, the night's busted open.
These [Am] two lanes will take us [Bb] _ _
_ anywhere.
We _ _ got one last chance to [C] make it real.
[D] _ _ _ [F]
Trading these wings on [Bb] some wheels. _ _ _
Climbing back, [F] _ heaven's waiting [C] down the tracks.
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ Whoa, [Dm] come take my [Em] hand.
[F] We're riding out tonight [Bb] to chase the promised [F] land.
_ _ [Am] Whoa, Thunder Road. _
[Bb] Whoa, Thunder Road.
[C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ It's like a [Dm] killer in the sun. _ _
[F] Yeah, I know it's late, but we [Bb] can make it if [F] we run.
_ _ Whoa, [A] Thunder Road.
[Bb] Sit tight.
_ _ [C] Take hold.
[D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] Well, I got this guitar and I [C] _
_ play [F] guitar. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] My car's out back if you're ready to take _ [Bb] that long [C] walk.
Come _ [Bb] here, front porch of my [C] front seat.
_ [Am] The door is open, but the ride, it [Dm] ain't free.
_ _ [Gm] I know [Bb] you're lonely.
Those [Gm] words that I ain't [Bb] spoken.
But [C] tonight, girl, we'll be [Bb] free.
_ [Am] All the promises will [C] be broken.
_ _ _ [F] Though a ghost in the eyes [Bb] of _ all the [F] boys you sent away.
They _ haunt this dusty beach road [Am] and the skeleton frames
of burned [Bb] out Chevrolets.
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ They scream your name at night in the [C] street.
[D] Your graduation [F] gown lies in rags [Bb] at their feet. _
[Am] In the lonely cool before dawn, _ _ you
[Bb] hear their engines roaring on. _ _
_ [Gm] But when you get to the porch, [C] they're gone _ [Bb] on the wind. _
_ _ So merry [Gm] climbing. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] It's a town full of losers.
_ [F] We're pulling out of _ here.
Wee. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
