CREATE YOUR OWN TABS AT http://www.tabstar.net/Index.aspx

I've had a cold for about a week now and haven't fully recovered so my vocals on this one are rather rough.When I played it back I thought it wasn't as bad as I'd expected but still not as good as I'd like it to be.As I haven't uploaded anything for a few days I thought I might as well.I will probably replace this vid at some point but until then this will have to do.Sorry folks.
Peace

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

You can (G)hide neath your covers and (Em)study your pain,
Make (G)crosses with your lovers,throw (C)roses in the rain,
(G)Waste your summer (Bm)praying in vain for a (C)saviour to rise from these (D)streets,
Well now (G)I'm no hero that's (Em)understood,
All the (G)redemption I can offer,girl,is (C)beneath this dirty hood,
(G)With a chance to make it (Bm)good somehow,Hey (C)what else can we do (D)now,
Except (G)roll down the windows and (C)let the wind blow (G)back your hair,
Well the night's busting open,these (Bm)two lanes will take us (C)anywhere,
We got (Am)one last chance to make it (D)real,
To trade (G)in these wings on some (C)wheels,(Am)Climb in back,
(C)Heaven's waiting on (D)down the tracks,
(G)Oh oh come (Em)take my hand,
(G)Riding out tonight to (C)case the promised land,(G)Oh oh oh (Bm)oh thunder road,
(C)Oh thunder road,(D)oh thunder road,
(G)Lying out there like a (Em)killer in the sun,
(G)Hey I know it's late we can (C)make it if we run,
(G)Oh oh oh (Bm)oh thunder road,sit (C)tight,take (D)hold,thunder (G)road,

Well I (C)got this guitar and I (D)learned how to make it (G)talk,
And my (Em)car's out back,If you're ready to take the (C)long (D)walk,
From your (C)front porch to my front (D)seat,
The door's (Bm)open but the ride it aint (Em)free,
And (Am)I know you're lonely for words that (Em)I aint spoken,
But (C)tonight we'll be free all the (D)promises'll be broken,
There were (G)ghosts in the eyes of (C)all the boys you (G)sent away,
They haunt this dusty beach road,
In the (Bm)keleton frames of (C)burned out chevrolets,
They (Am)scream your name at night in the (D)street,
Your graduation (G)gown lies in rags at their (C)feet,

And in the (Am)lonely cool before (Em)dawn,You hear (C)engines roaring (Em)on,
But when you (Am)get to the porch they're (D)gone,On the (C)wind,(Am)
It's a (C)town full of losers,And (D)I'm pulling out here to (G)win.
(G)(D)(G)(C)(G)(Em)(C)(D)

  • I am absolutely in love with this cover. I'm not going to lie, the first time I heard it, I cried. Such a beautiful song and you are an amazing musician.

    I'm only 18 and I really wish more kids my age appreciated Bruce's music.

    Thanks to all the covers, your channel is now one of my favorites.

  • watched this last year....came back....and you know it is a great cover.....guitar is so hard or i lack the thing god gives certain people....the intangible thing called talent...

    perhaps if i work hard enough lol

  • man that outro is so F-ing sweet 

  • Brother that was truly sick! I was listening to Coffee House today and this came on, brought me back to an earlier, easier time. Music for those of us who understand it does things you cannot describe to those who dont! Just grabbed the Larrivee. Looks like I will be up all night making a poor effort to replicate. Yours is the only one I saw capo 6 but sounded awesome. So much talent out there that no one knows about...shame! Doug

  • @Shaddler6strings Thanks for that,glad you liked it.

    Peace
