Bruce Springsteen
Zero and blind Terry
Intro: E
E
The Skulls met the Pythons
A E
Down at the First Street station
C#m G#m
Alliances have been made in alleyways
F#m B
All across the nation
E
These boys live off the milk of a silver jet
A E
And the love of sweet young women
C#m G#m
Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown
F#m B
And they're lookin' to do some livin'
E
Well the leader of the Pythons
A E
Is a kid they just call Zero
C#m G#m
Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters
F#m B
But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes"
| E | E | A | E | E C#m | G#m | F#m | B |
(Sax solo) | E | E | A | E | E C#m | G#m | F#m | B
A E B E
Zero and Terry they found a love that burns like wild fire
A E
Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good
B A
A child, a thief and a liar
C#m
Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn
G#m
Zero rode like twilight
C#m A
He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on"
E B A
Terry come on, tonight is the night
B E
Pack your bags, baby
A B E
And together they ran like reindeers through the street
A B E
Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch up on fire
A B E A
Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home
B E
They crawled up in the night
A B E
Like firelight
E | A | B | E | E | A | B | E | E | A | B | A | B
Oooh...
E
Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime
A E
Rode silver foxes through Terry's field
C#m G#m
Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9
F#m B
But they refused to yield
E
The Pythons fought with buzz guns
A E
And the troopers with swords like light
C#m G#m
And Zero and Terry they ran away
F#m B
As the gang fought all through the night
(Sax solo) | E | E | A | E | E C#m | G#m | F#m | B | E
Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away
A E
Others said they were caught and brought back
C#m G#m
But still them young pilgrims to this day
F#m B
Go to that spot way down by the railroad track
E A
Where the Troopers met the Pythons
E A
Old timers cry on a hot August night
E A
If you look hard enough, if you try
E A
You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons
E A
Oh just hiking the streets of the sky
E A
Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky
E A
Just hiking the streets of the sky
