Cowboy Junkies - Thunder Road (Bruce Springsteen Cover) chords
Start Jamming...
[F]
The screen door slams, [Bb]
[C] Mary's [F] dress waves
She [Am] dances across [C] the porch [Bb] as the radio plays
Roy Orbison is [C] singing for the lonely
Hey, [F] that's me, and I want [Bb] you only
Don't turn me home again
[F] I just can't [G] face myself [C] alone again
Don't [Dm] run back inside, [Gm]
darling
You [F] know just what I'm here for
So you're scared, [Dm] thinking [C] that maybe we ain't [Bb] that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic [C] in the night
[Dm] You [F] ain't a beauty, but hey, [Bb] you're alright
Yeah, and that's [F] alright
[C] So, [F] you can't hold your [Dm] lovers, no, so do you think
[F] You cross the street, lovers, [Bb] throw roses in the rain
[F] Waste your songs, [A] praying and praying [Gm] for a savior to rise [C] from these streets
Well, [F] now I'm [D] lost on the streets [F] of redemption
Lost [Bb] to this dirty [F] hood
With a chance [A] to make it good somehow
[Bb] Hey, what else can we [C] do now?
Can't [F] you just go now?
[Bb] You're losing that love, real [F] love in your head
Well, I'm not trusting [C] open-ended shootings [Bb] or techies anyway
We've got one last chance to [C] make it real
[F] Taking these [Bb] wings on some wings
Floundering back, [F] and caroling, [C] waving on the ground
Oh,
[F] come [Dm] take my hand, we're [F] riding out in [Bb] that case of promises
[F] Oh, thunder [Am] rose, oh, thunder [Bb] rose, whoa
[C]
[A] [F]
There were ghosts in the eyes [Bb]
of all the [F] boys you sent away
They all discussed you in each [E] road, in the skeleton frames [Bb] of burnout Chevrolets
This human name is [C] not yours
The [F] evaluation gal lies in [Bb] the wagon bed
[A] I don't [Bb] need you anymore
I'm going home, [Gm] going home
[C]
[Bb]
[Gm]
[Bb] It's time to go home
