Further On (Up The Road) - Bruce Springsteen (From The Rising)
At last! a new album from the Boss, and some cracking tunes on it, including this classic E street rocker!!
yeah I know its only the chords cos I can't do the rest - if anyone else knows it please tell me!!
Lyrics are taken straight out of the book, so if they're wrong then Bruce sang the wrong words.
Put a capo on the first fret, and play these chords
The intro is Em
Em G
Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed,
Em G
Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold,
Em D Em D
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold,
C D Em
I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Em G
Got on my dead man's suit, and my smilin' skull ring,
Em G
My lucky graveyard boots, and a song to sing
Em D Em D
I got a song to sing, to keep me out of the cold
C D Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
D Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
Em G
Where the way is dark and the night is cold,
Em D Em D
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
C D Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Guitar solo over: Em G x2 Em D x2 C D Em (basically the verse)
Em G
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time,
Em G
Searchin through the dust, lookin' for a sign,
D Em
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know,
Em B
But I got this fever, burnin' in my soul,
Em D Em D
So let's take the good times, as they go,
C D Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
G Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
G Em
Further on up the road, further on up the road,
Em D Em D
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
C D Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
Em D Em D
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,
C D Em
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
