I thought I'd upload a slightly easier capo'ed version. It's basically the same as
the others but I think the Boss plays with a capo. :)
Capo 1st fret - all chords relative
Intro - E A E B E C#m A B
E A E
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
E B A
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
A B
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
E A
Hey that's me and I want you only
A E B
Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again
E A E
Don't run back inside darling, you know just what I'm here for
E B A
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
B
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
E A
You ain't a beauty but hey, you're alright
E B
Oh and that's alright with me
E C#m
You can hide 'neath your covers and study your pain
E A E
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
G#m A B7
Waste your summers prayin' in vain for a saviour to rise from these streets
E C#m
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
E A E
All the redemption I can offer, girl, is beneath this dirty hood
G#m
With a chance to make it good somehow
A B7
Hey, what else can we do now
E A E
Except roll down the window and let the wind roll back your hair
E B A
Well, the night's bustin' open these two lanes'll take us anywhere
A B
We got one last chance to make it real
F A
To trade in these wings on some wheels
A F B
Climbin' back everyone's waitin' down on the tracks
E C#m
Whoa, oh, come take my hand
E A E
Right now, tonight to case the promised land
G#m A B7 E
Whoa-oa-oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
C#m
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
E A
I know it's late we can make it if we run
E G#m A B7 E
Whoa-oa-oa-oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold, Thunder Road
A B E
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk
C#m A B
And my car's out back if you're ready to take the long walk
A B
From your front porch to my front seat
G#m C#m
The door's open but the ride ain't free
A
And I know you're lonely for words and I ain't spoke
B
Tonight will be free, all our promises will be broke
E A E
And there were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
E B A
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
A B
They scream your name at night in the street
E A
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
G#m
And in the lonely cool before dawn
A
You hear their engines rolling on
F#m B A
When you get to the porch they're gone on the road
F#m
So Mary climb in
A B E
It's a town full of losers, I'm pulling out of here to win
Sax solo - E B E A E B A B
Hope this helps! :)
