The screen door slams Mary's dress waves Like a vision she dances
A G A
across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
D G D
Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face
A
myself alone again
D G D
Don't run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for
A G
So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore
A
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
D G D A (Riff)
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers
G D F#m
Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in rain
G A7 D
For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero
Bm D G
That's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl Is beneath this dirty hood
D F#m G A7
With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now
D G D
Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair
A G
Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere
A D G
We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels
D A
Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
D Bm D G
Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land
D F#m G A7
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
D Bm D
Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late
G D F#m G A7 D
we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder Road
G A D
Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk
Bm G A
And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk
G A F#m Bm
From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free
G G/F# Em7 G/D
And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken
A
But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken
D G D
There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away
A G
They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
A D
They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at
G Riff starts
their feet And in the...
