Chords for Hayward Williams - Thunder Road

_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The screen door slammed, _ [Am] _ _ _
[C] Mary's dressed clean
_ _ _ _ Lack of vision, she dances [Em] across the porch [Dm] as the [A] radio will play
_ [G] _ Roy Orbison [C] singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me, I want you [F] lonely
Don't turn me home again, [C] just can't face myself alone again
_ _ _ Don't run back inside, [Am] darling, you know just what I'm [C] here for _
_ _ So you're scared, you're [C] thinking that maybe we ain't that [F] young [A] _
anymore
Show a [F] little faith, there's magic [G] at night
_ You ain't a beauty, but hey, [F] you're alright
_ _ _ [C] Oh, and that's alright with me
[G] _ _ _ _ _
You can hide beneath the covers and the [A] study of pain
Make crosses from your lovers, [F] throw roses in the [C] rain
Waste your summer praying in vain [F] for your savior to rise from these [C] streets _
Well, now I'm no hero, that's [F] understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty [C] hood
With a chance to make it somehow, _ [F] what else can we do [C] now? _
Except roll down the window [F] and let the wind [C] blow back your hair _ _
Yeah, the night's busted open, [Em] these two lanes will take [F] us _ anywhere _ _
We got one last chance to [G] make it real _
Trading these wings [F] on some wheel, _ climbing back
[D] Heaven's waiting [G] down on them tracks
_ _ _ _ And [C] it's oh, come take [Am] my hand
_ [C]
Riding out the night to [Am] chase the [C] promised land
Oh, _ thunder roll, [F] oh, thunder _ [G] roll
_ Well, [C] it's lying out there like [F] a killer in the sun
I know it's lame, but [Am] we can make it if we run _
Oh, [C] thunder roll, sit [F] tight, take [G] hold, [C] thunder roll _
_ _ Oh, I got [F] this guitar, and I [G] learned how to make it talk
_ [C] _ _
_ _ My car's out back if you're ready to take [F] that long walk
From your front porch to my [C] front seat
The door's open, but the ride [F] ain't free
_ [Em] Now, I know you're lonely for words that I [C] ain't spoken
[D] Tonight we'll be free, all the [G] promises, _ they'll be broken
[D] _ _ _ _ _
[C] There are ghosts in the eyes [A] of all the [F] boys you sent [C] away
They _ _ [C]
haunt this dusty beach road
And the skeleton frames [F] burned-out Chevrolets
_ They scream [F] your name at night in the [G] street
Your graduation [C] gown lies in rags at their [F] feet
_ [Em] And in the lonely cool before dawn
From [C] your room you hear their engines roar on
[F] You [C]
get to the porch and [G] they're gone on the wind
_ _ _ Oh, so merry climbing, [D] _ _ _ _ _ [F] it's a town full of losers
[G] Pulling out of here to win
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
