Thunder Road Springsteen Raise Em Up Medley

        A                                        G
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
     G                      A                 D                  G
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely hey that’s me and I want you only
               D              G                       A          A7
Don’t’ turn me home again, I just can’t face myself alone again.

      D                       G                       D
Don’t run back inside darlin’ you know just what I’m here for,
      A                      A                    G
your scared and thinkin that maybe we ain’t that young anymore.
               G                          A                 D                       G
Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
       D                   A
Oh and that's alright with me.

        D                          Bm
You can hide neath your covers and study your pain,
      D                              G
make crosses from your lovers throw roses in the rain.
 D                F#m                   G                          A      A7
Waste your summer praying in vain for a savior to rise from these streets.
         D                   Bm                   D
Well now I’m no hero that’s understood all the redemption I can offer girl is
G
beneath this dirty hood,
D                        F#m               G                    A
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,
         D                           A                       G
Well the night's bustin' open, these two lanes will take us anywhere.
       G                          A        D                             G
We got one last chance to make it real, to trade in these wings on some wheels
G               D                    A              A7
Climb in back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks.

D          Bm                  D                     G
Oh oh come take my hand, we’re riding out tonight to case the promised land
D        F#m              G                A7
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, oh thunder road, oh thunder road
D                       Bm                    D                        G
Lying out there like a killer in the sun, hey I know it's late, we can make it if we run
D                   F#m       G            A7           D
Oh oh oh oh thunder road, sit tight, take hold, thunder road

[Verse 1]
 D
To this day when I hear that song, I see you standing there on that lawn
 G                               Bm                A
Discount shades, store bought tan, flip-flops and cut-off jeans
 D
Somewhere between that setting sun, I'm On Fire and Born To Run
      G                       Bm                       A
You looked at me and I was done but we were just getting started
D
I was singing to you, you were singing to me, I was so alive; never been more free
G                                       Bm    A
Fired up my daddy's lighter and we sang oh
D
Stayed there till the forced us out, we took the long way to your house
G                                  Bm            A
 I can still hear the sound of you saying don't go

[Chorus]
D                      A
 When I think about you I think about 17
Bm                        G
 I think about my old Jeep I think about the stars in the sky
Bm                 A
 Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D                        G             Em   A     D          G     Bm A
 Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night   Springsteen

[Verse 2]
D
I bumped in to you by happenstance you probably wouldn't even know who I am
        G                                    Bm          A
But if I whispered your name, I bet there'd still be a spark
D
From back when I was gasoline and this old tattoo had brand new ink
      G                                                  Bm             A
And we didn't care what your mom would think 'bout your name on my arm
D
Baby is it spring or is it summer the guitar sound or the beat of the drummer
G                                        Bm       A
You hear sometimes late at night on your radio
D
Even though you're a million miles away when you hear Born In The USA
       G                            Bm         A
Do you relive those Glory Days from so long ago

[Chorus]
D                       A
 When you think about me, do you think about 17?
Bm                             G
 Do you think about my old Jeep, think about the stars in the sky?
Bm                 A
 Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
D                        G             Em   A     D            G      Bm A
 Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday night   Springsteen,

 D                             G              Bm         A

[Chorus]
          D           F#m             Bm
Get those white sails sailing down in Mexico

Its just a whiskey glass if you aint makin a toast

As the flag flies, say goodbye

Fist black and blue, fight for the truth

 Hand on your heart for the stripes and stars

[Chorus]
D                      F#m    Bm
Black umbrellas in the pourin rain
  D              F#m          G
A Sunday morning coming Down, amazing grace
           D                   F#m     Bm
Lift those tear-filled eyes up to the sky
