Chords for Lucy Kaplansky - Thunder Road (B. Springsteen)

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ And a week later I was playing a gig in New Jersey and I had just seen Springsteen and
somebody yelled out _ the Springsteen song. _ _
And I'd never done this song in my whole life, ever sung it. _ _
[C] I always wanted to and I love a challenge. _ _
So I knew I didn't know all the words but we were in New Jersey so I knew the audience
[F] knew it and they did.
They knew the whole song and they sang it with me and got me through the whole thing
and now I know the words.
[C]
And if you feel like singing, which you might, _ you did a great job earlier, please do [F] one
of the world's great songs and you have [C] been so nice to me.
Thank you so much. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Screen doors, _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ merry [F] _ _
festivities, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ like a distant she [C] dances _ across the porch [Bb] as the radio plays. _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh you're the sun singing [C] from a long way.
Hey that's me and I [F] want you [Bb] all day.
Don't turn me home again.
[F] I just can't face myself [C] alone again. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] Don't run back inside [Bb] darling you know that's what [F] I'm here for. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
So you're scared and you're thinking [Am] that maybe we ain't [Bb] back _ yet.
_ _ _ _ So a little faith, there's magic [C] in the night. _
You ain't no beauty but you're [Bb] alright. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh [F] and it's _ [C] alright with me. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] You can hide with your [Dm] covers and study your [F] pain.
Make questions [C] for your lover, [Bb] throw _ roses in [C] the rain.
_ Waste your [A] summers praying and in vain [Bb] for a savior to rise [C] in these streets.
_ _ Well I'm no hero [Dm] that's understood.
All [C] the redemption I can offer [Bb] girl is beneath this dirty [C] heart.
With a chance to make [A] it good somehow, _ [Bb] hey what else can we do [C] now? _
Except _ throw down the window [Bb] and let the wind [F] blow back your hair. _
_ [C] _ _ _ _
Well the night's busted on my [Am] knees too late to take [Bb] us _ _ _ _ anywhere.
_ _ We got one last chance to [C] make it real. _ _ _ _
Trading these wings on [Bb]
some wheels. _ _ _
_ _ Climbing [F] back, _ _ heaven's [C] wind on track. _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] Oh girl [Dm] come take my hand.
Look [C] where I'm going tonight _ [Bb] to gaze upon my sight.
[F] _ _
Oh whoa [A] whoa thunder oh, [Bb] _ oh thunder oh.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ Light out there [Dm] like a killer in the [F] sun.
I know each leg [Bb] but we can make it with [F] one.
_ Oh whoa [Am] whoa thunder oh, [Bb] oh thunder oh.
Tick _ tock, [C] take off, _ thunder _ rock _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
this guitar.
[C] And I'll learn how to make it [F] talk.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ My [Dm] _
car's out back if you're ready to take that [Bb] _ love.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
From your front porch to my [C] front seat. _
The [Am] door is open but the bride it [Dm] ain't free. _ _
[Bb] _ I [C] know you're longing [Bb] for words that I ain't spoken.
_ _ Tonight we'll be free.
[C] _ All promises are too broken. _ _
[Bb] _ _ There [F] will ghost in the eyes.
[C] _ Fall _ or wait, [F] be sent away. _ _ _ _ _
_ They haunt this dusty beach.
[G] _ [A] Water's scattered in frames.
[Bb] _ _
Burned out Chevrolet's. _ _
_ _ They scream your name at night [C] in the street.
Your _ [F] graduation gown lies in the dirt.
[Bb] That they'd feed _ _ [A] _ _
you cold before _ dawn.
_ [Bb] You hear their engines roaring on.
_ _ But [Gm] when you get to the [C] porch they're gone.
_ _ [Bb] On the wind, _ _ _ _ _ _ merry [D] _ [Gm]
climbing. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's [Bb] a town for losers [C] _
but I _ [F] hear you. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ La la [C] la la la, _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ la [Bb] la la la la.
