[Intro]

E A E A
E G#m A B

[Verse]
E                 A       E
A screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
                                                 A
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
                            B                  E                 A
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely, hey that's me and I want you only
                            E                       B
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
       E                        A                      E
Don't run back inside, darlin, you know just what I'm here for

So you're scared and you're thinking that
                   A
Maybe we ain't that young any more
                                          B
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
            E                         A
You ain't a beauty but hey you're all right
       E                   B
Oh and that's alright with me

[Verse]
        E                            C#m
You can hide beneath your covers and study your pain,
     E                               A
Make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain
E                 G#m                   A                         B
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets
         E                  C#m
Well now I'm no hero that's understood
          E                            A
All the redemption I can offer girl is beneath this dirty hood
E                        G#m              A                   B
With a chance to make it good somehow hey what else can we do now except

[Verse]
E                        A                 E
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair
                                    G#m                   A
Well the night's busting open these two lanes can take us anywhere
                                  B
We got one last chance to make it real
   E                            A
to trade in these wings on some wheels
                        E                   B
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks

[Verse]
E       C#m                 E                    A
Oh come take my hand  We're ridin out tonight to case the promised land
E  G#m              A                B
Oh oh thunder Road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road
E                      A/C#
Lyin' out there like a killer in the sun
    E                        A
Hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
E  G#m                  A           B             E
Oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road

[Verse]
       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 that long walk
          A                       B
From your front porch to my front seat
       G#m                     C#m
Door's open but the ride ain't free
     A             A/G#      F#m                E
Well I know you're hunry for words that I ain't spoken
     B
Well tonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken

[Verse]
           E                             A             E
There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away
                E                       G#m
They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of
A                
burned-out Chevrolets
                                      B
They scream your name at night in the street
                E                          A
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
           G#m                                    A
And in the lonely cool before dawn you hear their engines roaring on
             A                         B           A                  F#m
But when you get to the porch, they're gone on the wind so Mary climb in
       A                       B                       E
It's a town full of losers I'm pulling out of here to win
