Bruce Springsteen - The ghost of Tom Joad

Si
Men walkin' long the railroad tracks
Re                       Sim       La
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
La
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
    Sim                 La         Sim
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Sim
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Re              Sim        La
Welcome to the new world order
La
Families sleepin' in their cars in the Southwest
   Sim             La        Sim
No home no job no peace no rest
 
    Sol
The highway is alive tonight
             Re                   La        Sim
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim                La        Sim
Searchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad
 
Sim
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Re                       Sim       La
Preachers lights up a butt and takes a drag
La
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
    Sim                 La         Sim
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Sim
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
Re                       Sim       La
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
La
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
   Sim             La        Sim
Bathin' in the city aqueduct
 
    Sol
The highway is alive tonight
             Re                   La        Sim
Where it's headed everybody knows
    La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim                La        Sim
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad
 
Sim
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Re                       Sim       La
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
La
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
 Sim                 La         Sim
Look for me Mom I'll be there
 
Sim
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Re                       Sim       La
Or a decent job or a helpin' hand
La
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
   Sim             La        Sim
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."
 
    Sol
Well the highway is alive tonight
             Re                   La        Sim
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
    La
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Sim                La        Sim
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
