Rain King Thunder Road

D                      A
When I think of heaven
Bm         A                 D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A          Bm     A           D
I think of flying down into a 
               A
sea of pens and feathers
Bm            A              D  
And all other instruments of 
               A
faith and sex and God
                  Bm           A
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm    G
Don't try to feed me
Bm        G
I've been here before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[chorus]
A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm    D   E               A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm     D         
She's been crying and I've been 
      E
thinking
A     Bm     D         E
And I am the Rain King


[verse]
E               D    A           
And I said mama, mama, why am I 
 Bm   A
so alone?
D          A
I can't go outside
             Bm                A
I'm scared I might not make it home
    D           A
I'm alive, I'm alive
     Bm           A
But I'm sinking in
           D                 A
If there's anyone at home at your 
place, darling
Bm                      A
Won' you please invite me in?
Bm    G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm        G
I've been there before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[chorus]
A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm    D    E              A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm    D         
She's been lying and I've been 
     E
sinking
A     Bm     D         E
And I am the Rain King


[bridge]
Bm          D                A
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Bm           D   A   Bm
Henderson is waiting for the sun
                   D         A
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins 
and ends

Bm            D               A
After all the dreaming I come home 
again

(During guitar solo)

D A Bm A (2x)

Side Note: ****This whole part is 
basically just spoken, you should 
listen to that version before
trying to play this.****

It repeats almost entirely 
throughout: D, A, Bm, A

           D                  
Well the screen door slams and 
A               Bm     A
Mary's dress sways
            D                  A  
And like a vision she dances 
                       Bm
across the porch while the radio
 A                  D             
Plays Roy Oribison singing for the
   A
 lonely
           Bm                     
Hey that's me and uh, I want you, 
A                    D          A
Only don't turn me home again
                    Bm             A
I just can't face myself alone again

(Same progression, D, A, Bm, A)

But don't come back inside darlin', 
you know just what I'm here for

So you're scared, and you're 
thinking, maybe we ain't that young 
anymore

But show a little faith there's 
magic in the night

You ain't a beauty but hey, you're 
all right

And that's all right with me

You can hide 'neath your covers and 
study your pain,

Make crosses from your lovers, throw
 roses in the rain

Waste your summer praying in vain 
for a savior to rise from these 
streets

But I ain't no hero… That's 
understood

All the redemption I can offer girl 
is beneath this dirty hood

And with a chance to make it good 
somehow,

Hey what else can we do now except 
except rolllll down the window

Let the wind blow, back you hair

This nights busting' open these two 
lanes, take us anywhere

Got one last chance to make it real

Trade in these wings on some wheels

So climb in back baby, heaven's 
waiting down the tracks

Ohhh, come take my hand. We're 
ridin' out tonight to case the 
promised land, oh

Thunder road.


It's lyin out there like a killer in
 the sun I know it's late but we can
 make it,

if we run. Thunder road

Well I got this guitar and I learned
 how to make it talk

And my car's out back if you're 
ready to take that long long long 
long long long long walk

From your front porch to my, front 
seat

The door's open but the ride it 
ain't free

And tonight you'll be lonely for 
words that I ain't spoken

Tonight we'll be free all the 
promises broken

There were ghosts in the eyes of all
 the boys

you sent away, They haunt this dusty
 beach road

In the skeleton frames of burned out
 Chevrolets

And they, they scream your name at 
night in the street

Your graduation gown lies in rags at
 their feet
                D (one strum)
And in the lonely cool before dawn
                D (one strum)
You hear their engines roaring on
              D              
But when you get to the porch 
          A             Bm     A
they're gone on the wind
                     D   A     
It's town full of losers, it's a 
                  Bm     A
town full of losers
We all come from towns full of 
  D        A
losers, we come from towns full of 
losers
            Bm                  A 
We come from towns full of losers,
                                   D
 we come from towns full of losers
                           A     
But we're pulling out of here to 
Bm                  A
win and when I when I

I think of heaven

D, A

Bm         A                 D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
              A             Bm
I think I think I think of dying
A                D               
Lay me down lay me down in a 
   A
field of flame and heather
Bm           A             D    
Render up my my my my body into 
            A
the burning heart of God
                Bm             A
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Bm    G
Don't try to bleed me
Bm        G
I've been here before
    D           E
And I deserve a little more


[chorus]
A Bm    D       E              A
I belong in the service of the queen
A Bm    D    E              A
I belong anywhere but in between
A          Bm    D             
She's been dying and I've been 
E
drinking
A     Bm     D          E
And I am the Rain King
