Chords for Thunder Road-Bruce Springsteen

[F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ [F] The screen door [Bb]
slams, [F] [C] Mary's dress [F] waves
Like a vision [C] she dances across [Bb] the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison [C] singing for the [F] lonely
Hey that's me [Bb] and I want you only
Don't [F] turn me home again, [C] I just [G] can't face [D] myself alone [C] again
[Gm] Don't run [F] back inside [Bb] darling you know just [C] what I'm here for
[C] _ [C] So you're [F] scared and you're [C] thinking that [B] maybe we ain't [Bb] that young anymore
Show [C] a little [Bb] faith there's [Bb] magic in the [Gm] night
[C] You ain't a [F] beauty but hey [Bb] you're alright
[F] [E] Oh [F] and that's [F] alright with [C] me
_ [F] You hide [Dm] under covers and study [F] your pain
It causes [Bb] when you love her sorrows of [F] [Am] emorrainment
Waste your summer praying in vain for [Bb] a savior to rest in these [F] streets
Well I'm [Dm] no hero that's [F] understood
All I do is [Bb] stand out and all her girls beneath this dirty [F] hood
With a chance to [Am] make it somehow
[Bb] Hey what else can we [C] do [F] now
Except throw down the [Bb] window and [F] let the wind blow back in here
_ Well the night's busted open [Am] these two [Bb] lanes will take us anywhere
We got one [C] last chance to [Bb] make it real
[F] We're trading [Bb] these wings on some wheels
[F] [F] Climbing back [C] in those [C] windows
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ [Dm] Come take my [F] hand
We're riding out [Bb] tonight to move case to the [F] promised land
Oh [Am]
Thunder [Bb] Roll
Oh Thunder Roll
[C] _ [F] _ Light it up there like a killer in the sun
And I [Bb] know it's the way we could [F] make it where I'm from
[Am] Oh [Bb] Thunder Roll
_ [C] _ [F] Oh Thunder Roll _
[Bb] Well I got this [C] guitar and I [Bb] learned how to [F] make it talk _
[Dm] And my car's out back and girl I need to take [Bb] that [C] long walk
From [Bb] the front [C] porch to the maple sea
[Am] The door's open [Dm] but the rabbit ain't free
[Bb] And [Dm] I know you're [Gm] lonely for words [Bb] that I ain't [C] spoke
Tonight we'll be free
But I'm not so sure we'll [F] be broke
And the ghosts in [Bb] the eyes of all the [F] boys have sent away
They haunt this dusty beach [Am] road and the skeletal [Bb] flames
Are burned out shower lanes
They scream your name at night [Bb] in the street
[F] The graduation [Bb] guys and rags at their [Am] feet
And the lonely crew before dawn
[Bb] You hear the engines roaring on
[F] When you [Dm] get to the [C] porch they're [Bb] gone on their way
See [Gm] Mary crying _
It's [Bb] a town full [C] of losers
I'm pouring [F] out _ _
