Bruce Springsteen

[G] Well a [C] great black [G] river a [C] man had [G] found

So he [C] put all his [G] money in a [C] hole in the [G] ground

And sent a [C] big steel [G] arm drivin' [D] down down [G] down

Now I [C] live on the streets of [D] Houston [G] town

Packed up my [C] wife and [G] kids when winter [C] came a-[G]-long

We [C] headed down [G] south with just [C] spit and a [G] song

But they said [C] "Sorry [G] son it's [D] gone gone [G] gone

It's [C] gone gone [D] gone it's all [G] gone"

Well there's [C] men hunkered [G] down by the [C] railroad [G] tracks

Yeah that [C] Elkhorn [G] Special blowin' [C] my hair [G] back

Tents [C] pitched on the [G] highway in the [C] dirty moon-[G]-light

And I [C] don't know just [G] where I'm gonna [D] sleep to[G] night

Parked in the [C] lumber[G] yard we're freezin' our [C] asses [G] off

My [C] kids in the back [G] seat they got a [C] graveyard [G] cough

Well I'm [C] sleepin' [G] up in front [C] with my [G] wife

Billy club [C] tappin' on the [G] windshield in the [C] middle of the [G] night

Says [C] "Move [G] along son [D] move a-[G]-long"

Well a [C] big limou-[G]-sine long [C] shiny and [G] black

Well you [C] don't look a-[G]-head and you [C] don't look [G] back

How many [C] times can you [G] get up after [C] you been [G] hit?

Well I [C] swear if [G] I could [C] spare the [G] spit

I'd [C] lay one [G] on your [C] shiny [G] chrome

And [C] send you [G] on your [D] way back [G] home

So if you're gonna [C] leave your [G] town where the [C] north wind [G] blow

To [C] go on down where that [G] sweet soda [C] river [G] flow

Well you [C] better think [G] twice twice [C] on it [G] Jack

You're better off [C] buyin' a [G] shotgun [C] dead off the [G] rack

'Cause there [C] ain't nothin' [G] down here [C] down here [G] friend

Except [C] seeds blowin' [G] up the highway [D] in the south [G] wind

We're movin' [C] on movin' [D] on we're movin' [G] on
