Biography:
there are several artists named Chris Ross
1) Hardcore producer signed with Hardcore Underground.
Demonstrating extraordinary musical maturity beyond his years, and with an ever expanding knowledge of his field, Music Technology student Chris Ross has already achieved a lot for someone so young. Having first released his early Hardcore works via the independent NSR Records, Chris has migrated more and more towards the Breakbeat / Drum'n'Bass spectrum in recent years, and was signed to Hardcore Underground in 2012.

Chris borrowed the first verse of "Darkness on The Edge of Town" by Springsteen
for this tune. But it's one of my favorites he's ever done.
8/19/13 I got back into playing this song and realized that the C chord in the
verses just isn't right. This way sounds a lot closer to what he's really playing.

Am G
I lit another on the on-ramp
F Am G F
Put on Darkness on the Edge of Town...
Am G
Ain't it funny how a sad song
F
Can make the road long
Am G F
Cause a man to cover ground...
Am G
With every smile in the rearview
F Am
Right next to all them things that I shoulda done
G F
I never did, Not a single one
Am G F
Her eyes were the first prize
Am G F
In a lonesome game I shoulda never won
Well this
C
Place I'm headin' just don't
Am
Seem much better I guess it
G
Just hasn't set in
F
I should start forgettin' well this
C
Sure ain't Jersey
Am
But I'm racin' down these streets again
G
Headin' for the shore
F
With a little luck
A little less bitter and
(Intro)
A little less bitter and
(Intro)
Am G F
I said goodbye to a closed eye
Am G F
Just beggin' for it's ocean blue
Am G F
Cause after all it's a long ride
Am G F
From Badlands to Fairview...
Am G
Ain't it funny how one little girl
F
Could take a place like this whole wide world
Am G F
Crush it down make it seem so goddamn...Small
Am G F
Ain't it somethin' how a man with nothin' can
Am G F
Always find a lower place to fall
Well this
Place I'm headin' just don't
Seem much better I guess it
Just hasn't set in
I should start forgettin' well this
Sure ain't Jersey
But I'm racin' down these streets again
Headin' for the shore
And with a little luck
A little less bitter and
(Intro)
A little less bitter and
(Intro)
A little less bitter and
(Intro x2)
Am G F
They're still racing down at the Trestles
Am G F
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Am G F
Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
Am G F
And a style she's trying to maintain
Am G F
Well if she wants to see me
Am G F
You can tell her that I'm easily found
Am G F
Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge
Am G F
And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
Am G F
There's a darkness on the edge of town
Am G F
I'm that darkness on the edge...
(Intro) x2
Of town...
End on Am
