i thought i’d upload a slightly easier capo’ed version . it’s basically the same as
the others but i think the boss plays with a capo . : )
capo 1st fret – all chords relative
intro – E A E B E C#m A B
E A E
the screen door slams , mary’s dress waves
E B A
like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
A B
roy orbison singing for the lonely
E A
hey that’s me and i want you only
A E B
don’t turn me home again i just can’t face myself alone again
E A E
don’t run back inside darling , you know just what i’m here for
E B A
so you’re scared and you’re thinking that maybe we ain’t that young anymore
B
show a little faith , there’s magic in the night
E A
you ain’t a beauty but hey , you’re alright
E B
oh and that’s alright with me
E C#m
you can hide ’neath your covers and study your pain
E A E
make crosses from your lovers , throw roses in the rain
G#m A B7
waste your summers prayin’ in vain for a saviour to rise from these streets
E C#m
well now i’m no hero , that’s understood
E A E
all the redemption i can offer , girl , is beneath this dirty hood
G#m
with a chance to make it good somehow
A B7
hey , what else can we do now
E A E
except roll down the window and let the wind roll back your hair
E B A
well , the night’s bustin’ open these two lanes’ll take us anywhere
A B
we got one last chance to make it real
F A
to trade in these wings on some wheels
A F B
climbin’ back everyone’s waitin’ down on the tracks
E C#m
whoa , oh , come take my hand
E A E
right now , tonight to case the promised land
G#m A B7 E
whoa – oa – oh thunder road , oh thunder road , oh thunder road
C#m
lyin’ out there like a killer in the sun
E A
i know it’s late we can make it if we run
E G#m A B7 E
whoa – oa – oa – oh thunder road , sit tight , take hold , thunder road
A B E
well i got this guitar and i learned how to make it talk
C#m A B
and my car’s out back if you’re ready to take the long walk
A B
from your front porch to my front seat
G#m C#m
the door’s open but the ride ain’t free
A
and i know you’re lonely for words and i ain’t spoke
B
tonight will be free , all our promises will be broke
E A E
and there were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
E B A
they haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out chevrolets
A B
they scream your name at night in the street
E A
your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
G#m
and in the lonely cool before dawn
A
you hear their engines rolling on
F#m B A
when you get to the porch they’re gone on the road
F#m
so mary climb in
A B E
it’s a town full of losers , i’m pulling out of here to win
sax solo – E B E A E B A B
hope this helps! : )
