[F]　[Dm]　[F]　[Bb]

[F]　[Am]　[Bb]　[C]

 

The [F]screen door slams

[Bb]Mary’s dress [F]waves

Like a [F]vision she dances [C]across the porch

As the [Bb]radio plays

Roy [Bb]Orbison singing for the [C]lonely

Hey, that’s [F]me, and I want you [Bb]only

Don’t turn me [Bb]home again

I [F]just can’t face [C]myself alone again

 

Don’t [F]run back inside

Darling, [Bb]you know just what I’m [F]here for

So you’re [F]scared and you’re thinking

That [C]maybe we ain’t that [Bb]young anymore

Show a little [Bb]faith,

there’s magic in the [C]night

You ain’t a [F]beauty, but, hey, you’re [Bb]alright

[Bb]Oh, and [F]that’s alright with [C]me

 

You can [F]hide ‘neath your covers

And [Dm]study your pain

Make [F]crosses from your lovers

[Bb]Throw roses in the rain

[F]Waste your summer [Am]praying in vain

For a [Bb]saviour to rise from these [C]streets

Well now [F]I’m no hero that’s [Dm]understood

All the [F]redemption I can offer, girl

Is [Bb]beneath this dirty hood

[F]With a chance to make it [Am]good somehow

Hey [Bb]what else can we do [C]now?

Except [F]roll down the window

and [Bb]let the wind blow [F]back your hair

Well the [F]night’s busting open

These [Am]two lanes will take us [Bb]anywhere

We got [Bb]one last chance to make it [C]real

To [F]trade in these wings on [Bb]some wheels

[Bb]Climb in back, [F]heaven’s waiting down [C]on the tracks

 

[F]Oh-oh come [Dm]take my hand

[F]We’re riding out tonight

To[Bb] case the promised land

[F]Oh-oh [Am]Thunder Road, [Bb]oh Thunder Road

[C]Oh Thunder Road

[F]Lying out there like a [Dm]killer in the sun

[F]Hey, I know it’s late, we can [Bb]make it if we run

[F]Oh, [Am]Thunder Road, sit [Bb]tight, take [C]hold

Thunder [F]Road

 

Well I [Bb]got this guitar

And I [C]learned how to make it [F]talk

And my [Dm]car’s out back

If you’re ready to take that [Bb]long [C]walk

From your [Bb]front porch to my front [C]seat

The door’s [Am]open but the ride it ain’t [Dm]free

And [Bb]I know you’re [F/A]lonely

For words that [Gm]I ain’t spoken[F]

But [C]tonight we’ll be free,

[C]All the promises’ll be broken

There were [F]ghosts in the eyes

Of [Bb]all the boys you [F]sent away

They haunt this [F]dusty beach road

In the [Am]skeleton frames of [Bb]burned out Chevrolets

 

They [Bb]scream your name at night in the [C]street

Your graduation [F]gown lies in rags at [Bb]their feet

And in the [Am]lonely cool before dawn

You hear [Bb]their engines roaring on

But when you [Gm]get to the porch [C]they’re gone

On the [Bb]wind, so Mary, climb [Gm]in

It’s a [Bb]town full of losers

And I’m [C]pulling out of here to [F]win
