[Intro] (Harmonica)

G   C G  Em C    G


[Verse 1]

      G                           Em
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
    C                                 G
I pick up my money and head back into town
                                 Em
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
          C                              G
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
   Em                   G
Working all day in my daddy's garage
   Em                       Am
Driving all night chasing some mirage
C                                 D7
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge


[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
      Em       C
If I could take one moment
           G
into my hands,
                           C     G
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
     Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land


[Verse 2]

G                        Em
I've done my best to live the right way
          C                                G
I get up every morning and go to work each day
        G                       Em
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
             C                             G
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
  Em                   G
Explode and tear this town apart
  Em                            Am
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
  C                           D7
Find somebody itching for something to start


[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
      Em       C
If I could take one moment
           G
into my hands,
                           C     G
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
     Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land


[Verse 3]

              G                            Em
Well, There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
             C                                      G
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
                                 Em
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
            C                          G
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
 Em                        G
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
 Em                        G
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Em                      Am
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing
     C              D7
But lost and brokenhearted


[Chorus]

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
      Em       C                    G
If I could take one moment into my hands,
                           C     G
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man
     Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land


[Outro]

    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land
