-The Song-
The Dscreen door slamsG
Mary's Ddress waves
Like a vision she dances Aacross the porch
As the Gradio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the Alonely
Hey that's Dme and I want you Gonly
Don't turn me home again
I Djust can't face myself Aalone again
Don't Drun back inside
darling Gyou know just what I'm Dhere for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That Amaybe we ain't that Gyoung anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic inA the night
You aiDn't a beauty, but hey youG're alright
Oh and Dthat's alright with Ame
YoDu can hide 'neath your covers
And Astudy your pain
Make Dcrosses from your lovers
GThrow roses in the rain
DWaste yAour summer praying in vain
For a Gsavior to rise frAom these streets
WelDl now I'm no hero
That's Bmunderstood
AllD the redemption I can offer, girl
Is Gbeneath this dirty hood
DWith a chAance to make it good somehow
Hey Gwhat elsAe can we do now
Except Droll down the window
And Glet the wind blowD back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These Atwo lanes will takGe us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it Areal
To Dtrade in Gthese wings on some wheels
CliDmb in back
Heaven's waAiting on down the tracks
DOh oh come Bmtake my hand
GRiding out Dtonight to case the promised land
Oh Aoh ThundeGr Road, oh Thunder Road
Aoh Thunder Road
D B m
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey DI know it's laGte we cDan make it if we run
OhA Thunder RGoad, sit tiAght take hold
Thunder DRoad
Well I Ggot this guitar
And I Alearned how toD make it talk
And my Bmcar's out back
If you're rGeady Ato take that long walk
FromG your froAnt porch to my front seat
F Sharp Minor Bm
The door's open but the ride it ain't free
And GI know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But Atonight we'll be free
All the promises'll be broken
There were Dghosts in the eyes
Of Gall the bDoys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the Askeleton frames of Gburned out Chevrolets
They Ascream your name at night in the street
YourD graduatioGn gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the Bmlonely cool before dawn
You hear their Gengines roaring on
But wheEmn you get to the porch theAy're gone
On the Gwind, so Mary climb Emin
It's a Gtown full of losers
And I'm Apulling out of hDere to win.
-Outro-
D (1 and a half seconds) G (half a second / a strum) A (for 2 seconds)
In quick session of one another play:
D G A Bm G A
then play D Bm G A
Repeat this outro once more
then finish with D and at the last few strums hammer your finger onto the e string at the 3rd fret
