Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road Acoustic (ver 3) chords

Thunder Road Acoustic (ver 3) by Bruce Springsteen

   D               G               D       
A screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves, 
        A                                        G
like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
     G                      A                 D                  G
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely hey that’s me and I want you only
               D              G                       A          A7
Don’t’ turn me home again, I just can’t face myself alone again.

      D                       G                       D
Don’t run back inside darlin’ you know just what I’m here for,
      A                      A                    G
your scared and thinkin that maybe we ain’t that young anymore.
               G                          A                 D                       G
Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
       D                   A
Oh and that's alright with me.


        D                          Bm                                                  
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain, 
      D                              G
make crosses from your lovers throw roses in the rain.
 D                F#m                   G                          A      A7
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets.
         D                   Bm                   D                           
Well now I’m no hero that’s understood all the redemption I can offer girl is 
G
beneath this dirty hood,
D                        F#m               G                    A
With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now?


        D                        G                D
Except roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair,
         D                           A                       G
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere.
       G                          A        D                             G
We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels
G               D                    A              A7
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks.


D          Bm                  D                     G
Oh oh come take my hand, we’re riding out tonight to case the promised land
D        F#m              G                A7
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road
D                       Bm                    D                        G
Lying out there like a killer in the sun, hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
D                   F#m       G            A7           D
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road.


      G                     A                     D
Well I got this guitar & I learned how to make it talk,
        Bm                     G                   A
and my cars out back if you’re ready to take that long walk.
           G                      A                F#m                         Bm
From your front porch to my front seat, the door's open but the ride it ain't free
       G                     Em
And I know you're lonely for words that I ain't spoken,
   G                           A
tonight we'll be free all the promises will be broken.


            D                    G                 D
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                 D                       A                  G
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned-out Chevrolets
      G                               A                        
They scream your name at night in the street, 
                 D                           G
your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet.
           F#m                                                      G
And in the lonely cool before dawn, you hear their engines roaring on
             Em                       A           G                  Em
But when you get to the porch they're gone on the wind, so Mary climb in
       G                         A                     D
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win.
