The screen door slams Mary's dress waves Like a vision she dances
AGA
across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
DGD
Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face
A
myself alone again
DGD
Don't run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for
AG
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
GDF#m
Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in rain
GA7D
For a saviour to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero
BmDG
That's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl Is beneath this dirty hood
DF#mGA7
With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now
DGD
Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair
AG
Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere
ADG
We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels
DA
Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
DBmDG
Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land
DF#mGA7
Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road
DBmD
Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late
GDF#mGA7D
we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder Road
GAD
Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk
BmGA
And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk
GAF#mBm
From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free
GG/F#Em7G/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
DGD
There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away
AG
They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
AD
They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at
G Riff starts
their feet And in the...
