Bruce Springsteen - The Promised Land: chords

      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

Chorus:
     G                                   C     G
The dogs on Main Street howl `cause they understand
      Em        C
If I could take one moment
         G
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

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

Chorus:
The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could reach one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land

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

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