Thunder Road Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[Bm] scre[D]en[G] door slams[D]
[G]Mary's dress wav[D]es
Like a vision she dances [A]across the porch
[G]As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the [A]lonely
Hey [D]that's me and I want
you [G]only
Don't turn me home again
I [D]just can't face my[A]self alone again
Don't [D]run [G]back insidedarling you
know just what I'm [D]here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That [A]maybe we ain't that
[G]young anymore
Show a little faith,
there's magic in [A]the night
You ain't [D]a beauty, but hey you're alright
[G]Oh and tha[D]t's alright with me [A]You
[D]can hide 'neath your covers
And [Bm]study your pain
Make crosses [D]from your lovers
Throw [G]roses in the rain
[D]Waste your summer pra[A]ying in vain
For a sa[G]vior to rise from these [A]streets
Well now I'm [D]no hero
[Bm]That's understood
All the redemption [D]I can offer, girl
Is [G]beneath this dirty [D]hood
With a chance to [A]make it good somehow
Hey [G]what else can we do [A]now
Except [D]roll down the window
And [G]let the [A]wind blow [D]back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These [A]two lanes will take [G]us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it [A]real
To trade [F#m]in these wings
on some [Bm]wheels
Climb [G]in back
[D]Heaven's waiting on [A]down the tracks
[D]Oh oh [Bm]come take my hand
Riding [D]out tonight [G]to case
the promised [D]land
[F#m]Oh oh Thunder Road,
[G]oh Thunder Roadoh Thun[A]der Road
Ly[D]ing out there [Bm]like a
killer in the sun
[D]Hey I know it's [A]late we [G]can
make it if we [Asus4]run[D]
Oh [F#m]Thunder Road, sit [G]tight take [A]hold
Thun[D]der Road Well I [G]got this guitar
And I [A]learned how to make it [D]talk
And my [Bm]car's out back
If you're ready to take that [G]long[A]
walk>From your [G]front porch to my front [A]seat
The door's [F#m]open but the
ride [A]it ain't [Bm]free
And I know [G]you're lonely
For words that I ain't [A]spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were [D]ghosts in the eyes
Of [G]all the [A]boys [G]you [D]sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the [F#m]skeleton frames [A]of [G]burned [D]out [G]Chevrolets T[Em]hey
scream your name at night in [A]the street
[F#m]Your graduation gown lies
in rags [A]at their [Bm]feet
And in [G]the lonely cool before dawn
You hear [Em]their engines roaring on
But when you [G]get to
the porch they're [A]gone
On [G]the wind, so Mary [Em]climb in
It's [G]a town full of losers
And [A]I'm pulling out of [D]here to win
