Further On Up The Road chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics

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 MajorE 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 E minorEm

          E minorEm            G+G
Where the road is dark, and the seed is sowed,

          E minorEm             G+G
Where the gun is cocked, and the bullet's cold,

           E minorEm   D MajorD         E minorEm    D MajorD
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold,

    C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
I'll meet you further on, up the road,

            E minorEm              G+G
Got on my dead man's suit, and my smilin' skull ring,

           E minorEm           G+G
My lucky graveyard boots, and a song to sing

         E minorEm   D MajorD              E minorEm    D MajorD
I got a song to sing,  to keep me out of the cold

      C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,


          D MajorD             E minorEm
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

          E minorEm            G+G
Where the way is dark and the night is cold,

      E minorEm    D MajorD         E minorEm   D MajorD
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,

      C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,

Guitar solo over: E minorEm G+G x2 E minorEm D MajorD x2 C majorC D MajorD E minorEm (basically the verse)

            E minorEm            G+G
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time,

            E minorEm           G+G
Searchin through the dust, lookin' for a sign,

             D MajorD              E minorEm
If there's a light up ahead, well brother I don't know,

         E minorEm            BB
But I got this fever, burnin' in my soul,

          E minorEm      D MajorD       E minorEm   D MajorD
So let's take the good times,  as they go,

      C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,


          G+G             E minorEm
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

          G+G             E minorEm
Further on up the road, further on up the road,

      E minorEm    D MajorD         E minorEm   D MajorD
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,

      C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,

      E minorEm    D MajorD         E minorEm   D MajorD
One sunny mornin' we'll rise I know,

      C majorC         D MajorD       E minorEm
And I'll meet you further on, up the road,
