  			Bruce Springsteen's Acoustic rendition of thunder road. 


  G                        C              G 
    The screen door slams,    Christie's dress waves 
           F                  C                      G 
    Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays 
         C                      G       
    Roy Orbison singing for the lonely,  
                F                      C 
    hey that's me babe and I want you only 
                  G             C                       G 
    Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again tonight 

                                 C                       G 
    Don't run back inside, baby, you know just what I'm here for 
               F 
    So you're scared and you're thinking that 
                         C               G 
    Maybe we ain't that young any more 
                   C             G 
    Woman, there's magic in the night 
                F                         C 
    You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right 
                     D             
    Oh and that's alright with me 

            G                        C/G D 
    You can hide beneath your covers and study your pain, 
         G                               C 
    Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain 
   G                  D                     C                         D 
    Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets 
             G          C/G     D 
    Well I aint no hero that's understood 
             G                              C 
    All the redemption I can offer babe is beneath this old hood 
   G                                D         
    With one last chance to make it good somehow 
        C                     D  
    hey what else can you do now except 
     
    G                       C                  G 
    Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair 
                                           D                      C 
    Well the night's busting open and these two lanes can take us anywhere 
                                      D 
    We got one last chance to make it real 
        G                        C 
    to trade in these wings for some wheels 
   G                                    D 
    Climb in back, it's waiting down on the tracks 

           G                   C/G  D 
    Well I tried hard Christie to  understand  
         G                          C 
    I'm ridin' out tonight to case the promised land 
    G                           D 
    Babe, if you're born with nothin' in your hands  
    C                   D 
    Hey It's your only chance    

              G               C/G     D 
    Well It's lyin' out there like a killer in the sun       
      G                               C 
    Yeah I know it's late, but we can make it if we run  
   G         D                  C 
    Oh I wish you could come, so leave what you've lost 
                 D               G 
    Leave what's grown old, on thunder road 
   
           Em                             C                       
    Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk     
           G                                      D 
    And my car's out back if you're ready to take that long walk 
          C                       D 
    From your front porch to my front seat 
               G                       C       D 
    Hey door's open but the ride ain't free 

                     G                        C            G 
    Well there were ghosts in the eyes of the boys you sent away 
                                             D 
    They haunt this dirty beach road in the skeleton remains of 
               C       
    burned-out Chevrolets 
                                          G 
    They scream to you at night from the street 
                    F                           C 
    Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet 
               G      G/C         D                      
    And in the lonely cool before dawn 
                       G    G/C              D 
    From your room you hear their engines roar on 
                 G                        C                 D            
    But when you get to the porch, they're gone lost in the wind  
                      A/E 
    so Christie climb in 
           C                       D                       G 
    It's a town full of losers I'm pulling out of here to win 

It definitely has errors, but it isn't terrible.
