Dead Man Walking
Tom: D
 D
There's a pale horse comin'
And I'm gonna ride it
I'll rise in the morning
With my fate beside it
        G               D
I'm a dead man walkin'
        G               D
I'm a dead man walkin'
D
In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
How I've got my story
Well Mister, there ain't no need
G               D
for you to listen
                 G               D
It's just a dead man talkin'
G                       D
Once I had a job, I had a girl
            G
But between our dreams
                     D
and action lie this world
D
Well, in the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
All I could feel was the drugs
and the shotgun
               G         D
And my fear up inside me
           G             D
Like a dead man talkin'
G
Beneath the summer sky
                  D
my eyes went black
G
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness,
      A          D
my sins are all I have
D
Tonight the clouds above my prison
Move slowly 'cross the sky
There is a new day comin'
                A                D
And my dreams are full tonight.
The River
Tom: Am
   Am                   C             G                 F
I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young
     Am               C   F              C
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
       F                                C            G     Am
Me and Mary we met in high school, when she was just seventeen
      Dm                             C                     F
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
         Am           F         G                   C
We'd go down to the river, And into the river we'd dive
    Am          F         G     A
Oh down to the river we'd ride
      Am           C           G                     F
Then I got Mary pregnant, And man that was all she wrote
        Am               C                    F                  C
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
     F                                   C        G         Am   
We went down to the courthouse, And the judge put it all to rest
      Dm                                               C                 F
No wedding day smiles no walk down in the aisle, No flowers no wedding dress
                    Am         F           G                   C
That night we went down to the river, And into the river we'd dive
   Am            F           G    F
On down to the river we did ride
  Am                    C                   G           F
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
      Am                          C         F             C
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
     F  
Now all them things that seemed so important
              C                  G        Am      
Well mister they vanished right into the air
            Dm                              C                   F
Now I just act like I don't remember, Mary acts like she don't care
        Am                      C
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
          G                      F
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
   Am                      C
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
             F                             C
And pull her close just to feel each other breath she'd take
          F                                    C               Am
Now those memories come back to haunt me, They haunt me like a curse
     Dm                                    C
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, Or is it something worse that sends me
Am            F            G                 C
Down to the river though I know the river is dry,
              Am          F     G
That sends me down to the river tonight
Am           F         G       C      Am        F         G
Down to the river, My baby and I, Oh down the river we'd ride
   Am    F
oh oh oh oh oh oh (The exact amount of oohing depends on version)

        G                                         C             D
In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
     G                                         C          D
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
  C                   G  
Sprung from cages on Highway 9 
          C                         D                    C
chrome wheeled, fuel injected and, steppin' out over the line
                           G
Baby this town rips the bones from your back, 
         Am                D
it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
            C                 Am       (A2 Am A2)
We gotta get out while I'm still young
         C             D                   G
'Cause tramps like us baby we were born to run.
G    C    D
               (G->C harmonica)
    G
Hey Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend,
        C                     D
I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
     G
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims,
      C                      D
Strap your hands across my engines.
      C               G
And Together we could break this trap,
       C                    D                   C
We'll run till we drop and, baby we'll never go back.
             G
Walk with me out on the wire?
         Am                   D
Girl, I'm just a scared and a lonely rider,
      C                 Am         (A2 Am A2)
But I gotta know how it feels,
  C
I want to know if love is wild, baby,
    D                     G
I want to know if love is real.
G  C  D  
               (G->C harmonica)

  Dm                                    F
Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
      C             
The girls comb their hair in rear-view mirrors
         Am                D
and the boys try to look so hard
  Dm
The amusement park rises bold and stark
          F
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
         C
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
     Am           D
In a everlasting kiss
             G
Well, The highways jammed with broken heroes
      C                    D
On a last chance power drive
     G
Everybody's out on the run tonight
            C                D
But there's no place left to hide
   C                     G
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness
C                          D              C
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
         G                                   Am
Someday girl, I don't know when, we're gonna get to that place
          D            
Where we really wanna go
 C                    Am   (A2 Am A2)
And we'll walk in the sun
               C
Till then tramps like us
D                   G
Baby we were Born To Run.

Blood Brothers

                              We played king of the mountain       out on the end
                                                             Bm    A                       D  Dsus4 D
                              The world come chargin' up the hill,  and we were women and men
                                                        D                            D
                              Now there's so much that time,  time and memory fade away
                                                      Bm        A                D
                              We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
                               
                                                  G                              D
                                We stood side by side each one fightin' for the other
                                                  Bm              A          D
                                We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers
                               
                                                        D
                              Now the hardness of this world   slowly grinds your dreams away
                                               Bm    A                       D
                              Makin' a fool's joke   out of the promises we make
                                                              D
                              And what once seemed black and white   turns to so many shades of gray
                                                           Bm     A                       D
                              We lose ourselves in work to do    work to do and bills to pay
                               
                                                      G                            D
                                And it's a ride ride ride    and there ain't much cover
                                                            Bm    A           D
                                With no-one runnin' by your side   my  blood  brother
                               
                                (harmonica break with verse chords)

                                On through the houses of the dead   past those fallen on their tracks
                                              G                        A
                                Always movin' ahead  and never lookin' back
                               
                              (A)                     D
                              Now I don't know how I feel    I don't know how I feel tonight
                                                         Bm    A                       D
                              If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or gained sight
                                                 D
                              I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
                                                 Bm     A              D
                              Or if any of this matters  anymore after all
                                                          D
                              But the stars are burnin' bright  like some mystery uncovered
                                                            Bm                   A
                              I'll keep movin' through the dark  with you in my heart
                                         D
                              My blood brother

She's got a secret garden where everything you want

Born in the USA
Tom: B
B
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
E
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
      E                                     B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
E
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
      E                                     B
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. now
B
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "Son if it was up to me"
E
Went down to see my V.A. man
                                    | B | B | B | B | E | E | E | E |
He said "Son, don't you understand"
B
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
E
They're still there, he's all gone
B
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
                                       | E | E | E | E |
I got a picture of him in her arms now
B
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
    E
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
B
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
E                                                      B
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A. now
Born in the U.S.A., Born in the U.S.A.
E
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A. now

Streets Of Philadelphia 
Tom: F
Intro: | F  | F | Am | Am | F | F | Am | Am 
     F
I was bruised and battered I couldn't tell what I felt 
     Am
I was unrecognizable to myself 
      F                                 
Saw my reflection in a window and didn't know my own face
                   Am
Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting like this on the 
             Bb
Streets of Philadelphia
      F | C | C | Bb | F | C | C
La la la...
         F
I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone
        Am
I heard voices of friends vanished and gone
        F
At night I hear the blood in my veins 
        Am
Just as black and whispery as the rain on the 
             Bb
Streets of Philadelphia
      F | C | C | Bb | F | C | C | Bb
La la la...
                       Dm    Bb
Ain't no angel gonna greet me
                        F    Am
It's just you and I my friend
                     Bb
And my clothes don't fit me no more   
       C4                              C             F
I walked just a thousand miles just to slip this skin
 
The night is falling, I'm lying awake
     Am
I can feel myself fading away
  F
So receive me brother with your fateless kiss or
       Am
Will we leave each other alone like this on the 
             Bb
Streets of Philadelphia
      F | C | C | Bb | F | C | C (fade out)
La la la...
