Verse 1
D D 
 
A screen door slams,
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Mary's dress sways
A A 
 
Like a vision she dances across the porch
G G 
 
As the radio plays
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
F#m F#m 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Hey, that's me, and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
F#m F#m 
 
Bm Bm 
 
I just can't face myself
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
alone again
D D 
 
Don't run back inside, darling
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
You know just what I'm here for
D D 
 
So you're scared and you're thinking
A A 
 
That maybe we ain't
G G 
 
that young anymore
Show a little faith,
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
there's magic in the night
G G 
 
D D 
 
You ain't a beauty but,
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
hey, you're al right
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
Oh, and that's alright with me

Verse 2
D D 
 
You can hide 'neath your covers
Bm Bm 
 
and study your pain
D D 
 
Make crosses from your lovers,
G G 
 
D D 
 
throw roses in the rain
F#m F#m 
 
Waste your summer praying in vain
G G 
 
For a savior to rise from
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
these streets
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood
D D 
 
All the redemption I can offer, girl
G G 
 
Is beneath this dirty hood
D D 
 
F#m F#m 
 
With a chance to make it good somehow
G G 
 
A A 
 
Hey, what else can we do now?
D D 
 
Except roll down the window
G G 
 
D D 
 
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
These two   lanes will take us anywhere
A A 
 
We got one last chance to make it real
D D 
 
To trade in these wings
G G 
 
on some wheels
D D 
 
G G 
 
Climb in back,
D D 
 
A A 
 
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
A A 
 
heaven's waiting down on the tracks

Verse 3
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Oh- oh, come take my  hand
D D 
 
G G 
 
We're riding out tonight to case
D D 
 
the promised land
F#m F#m 
 
Oh- oh, Thunder Road
G G 
 
A A 
 
Oh, Thunder Road, oh, Thunder Road
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
D D 
 
Hey, I  know it's late,
G G 
 
we can make it if we run
D D 
 
F#m F#m 
 
Oh- oh,   Thunder Road
G G 
 
A A 
 
Sit tight, take hold
D D 
 
Thunder Road

Verse 4
G G 
 
Well, I got this guitar
A A 
 
D D 
 
And I learned how to make it talk
Bm Bm 
 
And my car's out back
G G 
 
A A 
 
If you're ready to take that long walk
G G 
 
A A 
 
From your front porch to my front seat
F#m F#m 
 
Bm Bm 
 
The door's open  but the ride ain't free
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
And I  know you're lonely for words
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
that I   ain't spoken
A A 
 
Asus4 Asus4 
 
Tonight we'll be free,
A A 
 
all the promises'll be broken

Verse 5
D D 
 
There were ghosts in the eyes
G G 
 
D D 
 
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
F#m F#m 
 
On the skeleton frames of
G G 
 
burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night
A A 
 
in the street
D D 
 
Your graduation gown lies
G G 
 
in rags at their feet
F#m F#m 
 
And in the lonely cool before dawn
G G 
 
You hear their engines roaring on
Em Em 
 
C#m C#m 
 
When you get to the porch
Bm Bm 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
They're gone on the wind
Em Em 
 
So Mary, climb in
G G 
 
It's a town full of losers
A A 
 
I'm pulling out of here to win
