bruce springsteen’s acoustic rendition of thunder road .
G C G
the screen door slams , christie’s dress waves
F C G
like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
C G
roy orbison singing for the lonely ,
F C
hey that’s me babe and i want you only
G C G
don’t turn me home again , i just can’t face myself alone again tonight
C G
don’t run back inside , baby , you know just what i’m here for
F
so you’re scared and you’re thinking that
C G
maybe we ain’t that young any more
C G
woman , there’s magic in the night
F C
you ain’t a beauty but hey you’re all right
D
oh and that’s alright with me
G C/G D
you can hide beneath your covers and study your pain ,
G C
make crosses from your lovers , throw roses in the rain
G D C D
waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
G C/G D
well i aint no hero that’s understood
G C
all the redemption i can offer babe is beneath this old hood
G D
with one last chance to make it good somehow
C D
hey what else can you do now except
G C G
roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
D C
well the night’s busting open and these two lanes can take us anywhere
D
we got one last chance to make it real
G C
to trade in these wings for some wheels
G D
climb in back , it’s waiting down on the tracks
G C/G D
well i tried hard christie to understand
G C
i’m ridin’ out tonight to case the promised land
G D
babe , if you’re born with nothin’ in your hands
C D
hey it’s your only chance
G C/G D
well it’s lyin’ out there like a killer in the sun
G C
yeah i know it’s late , but we can make it if we run
G D C
oh i wish you could come , so leave what you’ve lost
D G
leave what’s grown old , on thunder road
Em C
well i got this guitar and i learned how to make it talk
G D
and my car’s out back if you’re ready to take that long walk
C D
from your front porch to my front seat
G C D
hey door’s open but the ride ain’t free
G C G
well there were ghosts in the eyes of the boys you sent away
D
they haunt this dirty beach road in the skeleton remains of
C
burned – out chevrolets
G
they scream to you at night from the street
F C
your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
G G/C D
and in the lonely cool before dawn
G G/C D
from your room you hear their engines roar on
G C D
but when you get to the porch , they’re gone lost in the wind
A/E
so christie climb in
C D G
it’s a town full of losers i’m pulling out of here to win
it definitely has errors , but it isn’t terrible .
