This is from the Album "18 Tracks". I found the chords somewhere on the internet
but the lyrics didn't fit, so here are the chords with the lyrics from the album
version, I hope it's more or less correct.
F Bb F
1.Johnny works in a factory, Billy works downtown
Dm Gm F/A Bb
Terry works in a rock'n'roll band lookin' for that million-dollar sound
F Bb F
I got a job down in Darlington but some nights I don't go
Dm Gm F/A Bb
Some nights I go to the drive-in and some nights I stay home
(Bb) F
I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the
Bb F
screen I drove my Challenger down route 9
Bb F
through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
C F
And when the promise was broken I cashed in a few of my own dreams
F
2.Well, I built that Challenger by myself
Bb F
but I needed money and so I sold it
Dm
I lived a secret I should-a kept to myself
Gm F/A Bb
But I got drunk one night and I told it
Dm Am
All my life I've fought that fight
Gm F/A Bb
a fight that you can never win
F C F
Every day it just gets harder to live the dream you're believing in
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ oh baby you were so right
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ there's something dying down on the highway tonight
F
3.Well I won big once and I hit the coast
Bb F
Oh but I paid the big cost
Dm
Inside I felt like I was carryin' broken spirits
Gm F/A Bb
of all the other ones who lost
Dm Am
When the promise is broken you go on livin'
Gm F/A Bb
but it steals something from down in your soul
F C
Like when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference
F
something in your heart runs cold
Bb
I followed that dream, through the southwestern tracks
F Bb
the dead ends and the two-bit bars
C
When the promise was broken I was far away from home
F
sleeping in the backseat of a borrowed car
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ here's for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ here's for the tires rushing by in the rain
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ remember Billy what we'd always say
Gm Am Bb C F
Thunder Road____ we were gonna take it all and throw it all away
Alright! Finally a chart for this tune. Sounds pretty good to me.
I noticed today that some words are still a bit off, it's just one or two minor things but still I'd like to do it 100% correct.
Do you happen to know how you can edit a tab after you posted it?!
