Chords for Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen, 1978

_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _
We were out in the desert
_ _ over the [F] summertime
_ _ _ _ driving driving to Nevada
[C] _ When we came [D] upon this house on the [F] side of the road this Indian had built
_ _ _ _ [Bb]
Had a big [F] picture of Geronimo
_ Out front the landlord said landlord over top had a big [Bb] sign said this is a land [F] of peace love _ _ _
justice [Gm] and no mercy
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Bb] And pointed down this little dirt road said Thunder Road
_ _ _ [C] This is for Maddie
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Noah's Sands
_ _ _ Mary's Dressed Wings _ _ _ _ _
Rocker vision she dances [D] across the border as the [Bb] radio plays _ _ _
Royal Occasin singing for [C] the [Bb] ones
[F] Hey that's me and I want you [Bb] only
Don't turn me on again
[G] _ I just can't face myself alone again _
_ [Gm] _ Don't you [F] run back inside
[Bb] You know just what I'm here _ for
_ _ You're scared and you're thinking
[C] that maybe we ain't that young
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ Well that's [C] _ _ _ _ _ too far
We _ _ _ were cuddles [Dm] yesterday and tonight
And the flowers are singing
Roller [Bb]
scores roses in the [F] rain
Waste is gonna [Am] play the game
For a [Bb] savior to rise [C] with these feet
_ Why [F] don't you know [Dm] that's understood
Why don't [F] you show my good old [Bb] girls
the easiness [F] of the year
We'll try something [Am] _ somehow
_ [Bb] Ain't no else can do it to [C] you
_ _ [F] One down, one to [Bb] go
_ [F] We'll pack your head
_ _ _ _ _ A little [Am] piece of a potato
[Bb] And eat it well
_ Without one last chance
to [C] make it real
_ _ [F] Trading them wings [Bb] on some weird
_ _ _ _ [G]
Climbing [F] back
Yeah, I was way [C] down the tracks
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] No time [Dm] to take my hand
_ [F] Right now, _ [Bb] you can't stop [F] us now _
[Am] Ooh, we're back in [Bb] earth
Back in earth
[C] Back in earth
[F] _ _ _
[Dm] Back in earth
[F] Yeah, I know it's late
We [Bb] can't make it, [F] we're out _
Ooh, [Am] _ but we're [Bb] all still inside
Take [C] hold
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] Well, I got this guitar
[C] And I learned how to make [F] her talk _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] My car's out back
If you're ready to take
[Bb] a _ _ [C] long walk
[Bb] From your front porch
to your back [C] fence
_ [Am] The door's open
The ride [Dm] is free
[Bb] I know you're [Dm] lonely
There's words [Gm] that I ain't spoken
[C] But girl, we'll be free
_ All promises _
will be broken
_ _ [F] _ Ghosts in the eyes
[Bb] of all the boys [F] you've met _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Nothing's clear
[Am] You're still in your grave
A [Bb] permanent ash and a bridge
_ They scream your name
at night in the [C] street
Your graduation [F] [F] lies in the light
of the [Bb] sun
[Am] Well, I'm always looking for a dog
_ Not hearing [Bb] their wheezes
Walk my dog
[D] You can't hear me before
[C] There's no [Am] one for [Bb] me _ _
_ It's the time _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] for losing _
[C] I'm moving out of here No [F] way _ _
