The Promised Land - Bruce Springsteen

| G | C G | Em C | C G |

     G                           Em
On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
   C                                  G
I pick up my money and head back into town
                             Em
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
          C                              G
I got the radio on and I'm just killing time
 Em                   G
Working all day in my daddy's garage
 Em                       Am
Driving all night chasing some mirage
 C                             D7
Pretty soon little girl I'm gonna take charge

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
            Em       C              G
If I could take one moment into my hands
                         C     G
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land

G                        Em
I've done my best to live the right way
       C                                   G
I get up every morning and go to work each day
                                Em
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
             C                             G
Sometimes I feel so weak I just want to explode
 Em                   G
Explode and tear this town apart
  Em                            Am
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
  C                           D7
Find somebody itching for something to start

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
            Em       C              G
If I could take one moment into my hands
                         C     G
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land

          G                            Em
There's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
            C                                       G
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
                             Em
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
            C                          G
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
 Em                        G
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
 Em                        G
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
 Em                      Am
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing 
     C              D7
But lost and brokenhearted   

      G                                  C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
            Em       C              G
If I could take one moment into my hands
                         C     G
Mister I ain't a boy no I'm a man
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land 
    Em     C                 G
And I believe in a promised land
